In this episode, Dawson Brewer tells the story of Ovett, Mississippi — a town once built around a busy sawmill. Through heartfelt interviews with his grandmother and a longtime family friend, we hear what life was like back then, and how everything changed when the mill shut down. It wasn’t just jobs that disappeared; it was the heart of the town too. Dawson’s guests share memories of a community struggling to hold on. Even now, with empty streets and fewer families, there’s still hope. Their stories remind us that even after deep loss, a town’s spirit doesn’t fade easily.
