Several people immediately recognized the last Mystery Photo, sent in by Holly Moore of Suwanee. “It is Mabry Mill, Virginia on the Blue Ridge Parkway. The mill was run by E. B. Mabry from 1910 to 1935.”
Lynn Naylor of Atlanta was first, saying: “This morning’s mystery pix is The Mabry Mill on The Blue Ridge Parkway. Here’s a brief snippet about this structure: ‘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.”
Others recognizing it included Rex Schuder of Lawrenceville; Barbara Foreman, Grayson; George Graf, Palmyra, Va.; and Felix Martin, Lawrenceville, who says: “ I was born and raised in Ararat, Va., just a few miles from Mabry Mill. The mill is always a must visit whenever our family visits friends and relatives in Virginia.”
