13 Apr 06 Old Alabama Town Cotton Gin
This unique turn-of-the-century cotton gin was reassembled, restored and housed in a replicated “gin house” at Old Alabama Town. Gins of this period produced 2 bales of cotton per hour. Today gins can produce 1 bale per minute. The standard size for a bale of cotton is 500 pounds.
