What a bucolic setting this stop on the BRP offers. Although the visitor's center was open, there were no tours of this collection of historical buildings and implements because of the Fed government shutdown and subsequent furlough of the park rangers! During the busiest time for visitors -- leaf-peeper season -- there were only a handful of visitor's wandering the property, reading the signs, and trying to see inside the locked up mill, blacksmith shop and homestead. We saw the place but didn't really experience it, but it was still worth the stop.

This is a beautiful and historic water powered mill nestled along the natural beauty of the Blue Ridge Parkway. The mill itself is easily accessible from the parking area. Sometimes the mill building itself is open to the public making for an informative and memorable experience. There are nice bathrooms and a gift shop here as well.

I think this is one of the premier stops on the Blue Ridge Parkway. The old mill is picturesque and many opportunities for some great photos of this stop on the Blue Ridge Parkway. If you’re driving the parkway you’ll find this a fine stop a nice place to relax and enjoy the sounds of the old mill in the creeks that feed it.There’s plenty of parking here and of course it’s free. Check out the trails of surround Mabry mill. We thoroughly enjoyed this picture a stop along the Blue Ridge Parkway
