Description:
The Roberson Mill presents Music, History & Fun featuring The Comptons on Saturday, June 13, 2026.

Join us for a day of music, history, and fun featuring a concert from The Comptons!

The Compton brothers, Darryl and Roger, began playing bluegrass gospel music in the 80's in church then was joined shortly after by their dad, Clinton Compton. The three make their home in Willis, VA in Floyd county.

The band just changed members about a year and a half ago. Tim Goins from Mt. Airy, NC now plays dobro and banjo with the group, whichever the song may call for. Tim in the past has played with such groups as the Easter Brothers, Mark Templeton and New Vision, Lynwood Lunsford and many more.

There are times when the Compton' friends consist of Doug Holly from Floyd on guitar and some vocals, also Jimmy Creed, cousin of the Comptons, on mandolin or guitar.

Built in the 1880’s by John W. Epperly, noted as “one of Floyd County’s most accomplished millwrights”, Roberson Mill is said to be one of the most distinctive among mills in design and machine layout. It demonstrates some of the finest craftsmanship in wood and metal components and represents an authentic picture of flour milling as it was done in the United States through most of the 19th century.

Please remember to bring a chair for seating comfort during the event.

Additionally, we kindly ask that you adhere to the venue’s policy of no pets.

The Roberson Mill is located at 1258 Roberson Mill Road in Floyd, VA.
