Where is the Mill?

[Hawk]

In the Wooden Teddy Bear advanced patterns is one called "The Mill. I believe another name for the pattern is "Marbry's Mill". I found the real place picture the pattern is from, anyone know where the Mill is located?

Did a Google search and came up with this: Mabry Mill - Milepost 176 - Blue Ridge Parkway .  It is in Virginia.  There is more information to be found through Google.

There was a mill near the town we used to live in Ohio. I used to go there to buy their unbleached flour to make bread. Every time I see one I think of that.

It sure does. Every woodworker's dream setting. His own mill.

Here is the Google link to it. Probably more than most want to know, but with many pictures.

Thanks Charlie. After looking at all those pics and seeing it from different angles, I realized that we have been there. When we visited our dear friends in Dandridge Tn. they were kind enough to take us on an excursion into the National Park of the Smokies and I recall going to the store and wandering through and around the mill. It truly is this beautiful.

 

Ooops! After reading more about this mill it appears that I'm wrong. This one is in Va. But.....we did visit one just like it in Tn. Can't have too many mills.
