Mabry Mill
the most-photographed spot on the parkway, a working gristmill
Mabry Mill is one of the places Roamward flags on the Blue Ridge Parkway because it gives the drive its texture: the most-photographed spot on the parkway, a working gristmill. Use it as a planned pull-over instead of letting the route become a blur between towns.
