Craft and Story Telling Workshops

Skilled park rangers and master cultural volunteers will be leading hands-on workshops this summer at the historic area of Mabry Mill, milepost 176.1 and the Brinegar Cabin, milepost 238.5, on the Blue Ridge parkway. The public is invited to come and learn a new skill and help keep these traditions alive!

The workshops are co-sponsored by FRIENDS of the Blue Ridge Parkway, Inc.

There is a fee for these workshops that covers the cost of materials and supports friends of the Blue Ridge Parkway. Fees range between $15 and $35 and are payable the day of the workshop in cash or check made out FRIENDS of the Blue Ridge Parkway. Advanced reservations are requested, as space is limited. Interested people may make reservations by calling the Rocky Knob Visitor Center at 540-745-9662.

Try your hand at one of these workshops. Learn a new skill and help keep these traditions alive!
