Mabry Mill-2

Uploaded: November 21, 2010

Description

When Edwin Boston Mabry (1867-1936) built his water powered mill in Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains, he had no way of knowing it would become one of the most photographed places in the United States. The mill, on the Blue Ridge Parkway, is now run by the National Park Service and has several hundred thousand visitors each year. Ed Mabry (Frelen6, John, Charles, Isaac, George, Francis) was one of the fifth generation of MabryÕs to live in this part of Virginia. He was born in Patrick County and is buried in Floyd County not far from the mill.

A wonderful Capture Mill Foliage & Reflection.

Back in the day I'll bet they'd sneak a gun out those windows and bag a Duck or Goose for a meal...
