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.
