Mabry Mill is a watermill located at milepost 176.2 of Blue Ridge Parkway in Floyd County, Virginia. It is a tourist attraction mainly for the picturesque views of the mill itself. A short trail around the mill connects historical exhibits about life in rural Virginia. The trail allows visitors to view the gristmill, sawmill, and blacksmith shop.
Mabry Mill was built by Edwin Boston Mabry (E.B. Mabry). E.B. Mabry returned to Floyd County in 1903 and began the construction of the mill. It was first a blacksmith and wheelwright shop, then became a sawmill. By 1905 it was in operation as a gristmill. By 1910 the front part of the mill was completed and included a lathe for turning out wheel hubs, a tongue and groove lathe, a planer and a jig-saw. Between 1905 and 1914 E.B. Mabry bought adjacent tracts of land, mostly for the purpose of acquiring more water power. 1
During peak seasons, demonstrations of crafts are given by National Park Service volunteers at Mabry Mill.

I am a landscape and nature photographer living in Choctaw, Oklahoma. I love to take pictures of any scene that catches my eye. I spend most of my time at work, but enjoy my time taking photos from anywhere that I might be at the time. If you look hard enough you can find a picture in anything and anywhere. I love to travel to new places with my family and use my camera to remember where I have been and how beautiful it was. I really enjoy the Smokey Mountains, Arizona, Kentucky, and Texas.I can't wait to see even more and find more places to photograph.
