Ed Mabry ground corn, sawed lumber and did blacksmith work at this one wet spot on the mountain until 1936, and the Park Service kept the buildings when the Parkway came through. The reflection in the millpond is the most photographed scene on the whole four hundred and sixty miles, which is a heavy load for a working man's shed. The restaurant next door sells buckwheat pancakes to people who queue for them.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
