Mabry Mill on the Blue Ridge Parkway, Virginia – DanTraveling

On a recent Autumn trip up the Blue Ridge Parkway, we got a glimpse into the workings of the Mabry Mill. There were Rangers telling stories and grinding corn as well as Blacksmith and weaving demonstrations. Over twenty million visitors a year head up and down the parkway and Mabry Mill is a favorite destination. This video features beautiful photographs taken by Janet. From HappyMappy.com Perhaps the most photographed site on the Blue Ridge Parkway, Mabry Mill was a community gathering place in the early decades of the 1900s and is a gathering place for Parkway visitors today. A restored gristmill, sawmill, wood working shop, and blacksmith shop. Traditional rural skills such as basket weaving, chair caneing, spinning and weaving are demonstrated on a regular basis during the visitor season. Apple butter on weekends in October and music and dancing each Sunday afternoon during the summer and fall make Mabry Mill one of many delightful Parkway experiences. Located at Milepost 176 on the Blue Ridge Parkway.
