Description
Meadow of Dan, Virginia. Mabry Mill is a historic grist mill that is on the Blue Ridge Parkway. The Mabry Mill was built and owned by Edwin Boston Mabry around 1910. Also on the grounds are a blacksmith shop, a one room cabin, a bark mill, a sorghum mill and an old time whiskey still. The grist mill has been restored and is fully operational. The water flows down the millrace and the giant wheel makes creaking sounds as it turns causing the grinding stone inside the mill to be set in motion. This elegant old gristmill was very much a part of the community. For more than 20 years neighbors brought their corn to be ground into meal for grits, cornbread, spoon-bread or for feeding their livestock. As payment they would give one-eighth of the corn meal to the miller.
