Glade Creek Grist Mill, Babcock State Park, West Virginia

Surrounded by a patchwork of red, orange, and gold, Glade Creek Grist Mill stands above the rocky waters of Glade Creek in West Virginia"s Babcock State Park. Although it looks like a relic from the pioneer era, the mill is actually a carefully crafted tribute to Appalachia"s milling heritage.
