Francis Grist Mill. One of the small treasures in Western NC. Owned by a very special family, dear to my heart..They hold a couple of events each year to help them keep their mill functional. Look it up on the National Register of Historic Places.
Had an awesome meal in Waynesville, NC at Frogs LeapPublic House.  This is fancy food, almost all from local farms.
