Glade Creek Grist Mill, a historic landmark in West Virginia, stands as a testament to the region’s rich heritage. Built in 1820, the mill operated for over a century, serving as a vital hub for the local community. Water-powered, it ground grains into flour, cornmeal, and other staples, providing sustenance for families and contributing to the region’s economy. Today, the mill has been carefully preserved and restored, offering visitors a glimpse into the past. Visitors can explore the mill’s interior, learn about its history, and even witness a demonstration of the milling process.

There is a saying among photographer that goes ” If you want better looking pictures, then stand in front of interesting stuff”

There are few places that I have enjoyed standing in front of than the Glade Creek Grist Mill in Babcock State park in West Virginia. The mill looks centuries old but it was constructed in 1976 using parts from other grist mills in the area. I can see why John Denver wrote a song about West Virginia. The country roads are long and winding around the mountains but the views and sights are spectacular.
