Description

One of the most popular stops on the Blue Ridge Parkway is in Virginia at Milepost 176 near the town of Meadows of Dan. Deserving more than just one visit, Mabry Mill is the perfect setting for one of the parkway's outstanding historic sites. One of a long list of structures preserved by the National Parks Service, the mill site also includes a wheel-wright's shop, blacksmith's shop, a typical settler's cabin and whiskey still.
A fifth generation Mabry, Edwin Mabry began his milling operation a few years after its construction was completed in 1910. The nearby stream lacked enough water flow to turn the huge millstones, but Mabry stayed on and worked hard, a typical trait of the self-sufficient Appalachian people. Mabry built furniture and wagon hubs as a wheelwright and blacksmith. After saving up enough money, he purchased the surrounding property and diverted nearby springs and creeks to supply a steady stream to power his grist mill.
