Description
Historic Edwin B Mabry Grist Mill
This is the not too often seen side of the 1903 Historic Mabry Mill.
The Mabry Mill is undoubtedly one of the most photographed locations in the United States and certainly in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Construction on the mill began in 1903 by Edwin Boston Mabry and was soon in full operation at first as a blacksmith and wheelwright shop and then as a gristmill in 1905. The front part of the mill was finished by 1910 and contained a lathe for wheel hubs, a tongue and groove lathe, a planner and a jigsaw. Through 1914 Edwin Mabry purchased adjacent sections of land mainly to obtain more water to power his mill operation. The mill is located at milepost 176 on the Blue Ridge Parkway and has several hundred thousand visitors stop by during the course of any given year.
