Abandoned Delinted Cottonseed Mill in Farmersville Texas
In Farmersville, just east of town there is an abandoned mill off State Highway 380. If you aren’t looking for it you might just miss it. Since the property was abandoned and cleaned up it has been sitting abandoned since 1984.
At some point the property was cleaned up in the 2000s and is considered safe for commercial use.

After visiting the site, I found that the area is over grown with brush and vines slowly climbing up the sides of the buildings. The only living creatures there are two giants white owls and few rodents (soon to be dinner for the owls).
The only buildings left on the property were two large warehouses. One was mostly cleared out except for several stacks of pallets and pile of old tires. In the other warehouse, you can see the abandoned equipment and an old truck left behind.
The last few buildings are the closely packed grain silos and loading area. As you can see there, the trees and vines are growing up everywhere including through the cracked cement.
Final Thoughts on The Abandoned Cottonseed Mill
The place has a creepy vide about it. Surprisingly there wasn’t much vandalism and much trash on the property as you might would think for a place that hasn’t some taking care of the place in years.
Along with the creepy feeling you get there, you have the green skylights that gives off a green tint to what little light there is and finally you have a toxic smell that is still lingering around. The smell grew worse around the old equipment.
