Blue Ridge Parkway Foundation Events

The Blue Ridge Parkway Foundation is proud to present the exhibit Modern Visions, Mountain Views: The Cones of Flat Top Manor at Blowing Rock Art and History Museum from July 20 through November 30. The exhibit is a complement to the museum’s art exhibit Modern Visions, Modern Art: The Cone Sisters in North Carolina (August 3-November 30).

Ed and Lizzie Mabry must have gotten a thrill the first time water reached the gristmill they built more than a century ago. You can relive that excitement and marvel at the new flume your donations helped build during a ribbon cutting ceremony at 2 p.m., Thursday, October 3 at Mabry Mill, milepost 176. The event also marks the completion of new shake roofs on historic structures at the site.

The duo joined forces in 2015 when they released their first album, the Grammy nominated Before The Sun Goes Down.
