Mabrey Mill on the Blue Ridge Parkway.  Built in 1910 by Ed Mabrey, this is a fully functional water driven mill.  He milled lumber and grain depending on the season.  When the river was high, he would use the increased water flow to cut timbers into boards.  He lso made furniture and wagon wheels.  This is the most photographed place on BRP.
