The Glade Creek Grist Mill is located in Babcock State Park Fayette County West Virginia. It was built in 1976 as a re-creation of Cooper’s Mill that operated in this present location before Babcock became a state park. It was constructed by combining parts and pieces of three other mills. The basic structure came from Stoney Creek Grist Mill which dates back to 1890 in Pocahontas County, the water wheel from Spring Run Grist Mill in Grant County, with other parts found in the Onego Grist Mill in Pendleton County. Visitors to the mill can purchase freshly ground cornmeal and buckwheat flour as they experience the time when the only way to grind grain was by utilizing water power from a rushing stream. |
