This versatile mill, built by Edwin B. Mabry around 1910, contained a gristmill, a sawmill and a woodworking shop. Ed served as a jack-of-all trades to his nearby Patrick County neighbors grinding their corn and sawing their lumber. Some people got their corn in the form of corn meal while others desired a liquid form, as evidenced by all of the nearby stills in the local mountains.
"Many settlers and early residents brought with them the knowledge and the custom of making whiskey... Moonshiners have always operated in the mountains..."
(Note: Ed and Lizzie did NOT make moonshine.)
