Glade Creek Grist Mill, West Virginia, United States 11 Oct 2026

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, United States. Although it looks like a relic from the pioneer era, the mill is actually a carefully crafted tribute to Appalachia"s milling heritage.
