Frosty Sunrise at Mabry Mill
Mabry Mill is a watermill located at milepost 176.2 of Blue Ridge Parkway in Floyd County, Virginia. In 1903, Ed Mabry began construction of the mill. It was first a blacksmith and wheelwrightshop before becoming 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 jigsaw. Between 1905and 1914 he bought adjacent tracts of land mostly for the purpose of acquiring more water power.
