Blizzard Branch lies on the border of the Carolina Sandhills National Wildlife Refuge in Chesterfield County. The engine on display next to the sign is indicative of owner John Catoe's passion for collecting and rebuilding old engines. "Old iron collectors are some of the best people you will ever meet," he says on his website, where he has generously posted many pictures of his old farm machinery.

The grits mill and cane press are housed inside this barn, which provides a sort of gathering place for visitors and those hoping to purchase some freshly ground grits. Beyond the barn the field of sugar cane is visible. Had this picture been taken just two weeks earlier, corn stalks could also be seen in the background.

A rebuilt tractor engine runs Blizzard Branch's grist mill. The sign's instruction is not for the faint of heart; in an effort to ensure they would not miss any visitors, the Catoes wired an air horn to the rope and installed it on the roof of the barn.
