Did you know?

Middlesboro once had a brewery.  Originally the Overbeck Brewing, it was a brewery, cold storage, and ice manufacturing plant. It was later the New South Brewery before being used by the Schneider Packing Plant in Cumberland Gap. The land was then absorbed into the Cumberland Gap National Park. The building was five stories and served by railroads on both the east and west sides. It was located at the base of the Gap and was a local landmark for many years before being destroyed by fire.
