Eye on the Past - Mabry Mill

Показать описание
When young Ed Mabry built his grist mill in 1908, little did he know that it would become one of the most popular tourist attractions along the Blue Ridge Parkway. @BlueRidgeStreaming

The sights and sounds of Rural Appalachia fill the air at Mabry Mill during summer and fall. Ed Mabry built the mill where he and his wife Lizzy ground corn, sawed lumber, and did blacksmithing for three decades. The old mill, cultural demonstrations, and a decades-long tradition of Sunday afternoon music and dancing continue to draw visitors today. Take a break from driving with a short walk by the mill or some country fare at the restaurant.

It's impossible to forget this place once you've visited it. I got there before they opened one morning and saw how they opened the sluice that diverted the water to power the mill. I saw them stirring/cooking black strap molasses. I saw the blacksmith working his bellows and anvil etc etc.
I had an absolutely wonderful day. This is a very special place.
