Surrounded by a mosaic of reds, oranges and golds, the Glade Creek mill stands above the rocky waters of the creek that gives it its name, in Babcock State Park, in West Virginia (United States). It looks like a relic from the pioneer era, but it's actually a very well-constructed homage to Appalachian flour tradition.  
  
It was completed in 1976 with pieces rescued from several historic mills scattered around the state, so that it brings together in a single structure fragments of the rural past of the region. The water from the stream continues to move the wheel and feeds demonstrations of traditional milling.  
  
The mill is the postcard of the park, but it is not everything: its almost 1,700 hectares are home to waterfalls, stony riverbeds and kilometres of paths that burst with colour in autumn. Landscape and trade telling the same story, that of a region that learned to live off water and wood.

Rodeado de un mosaico de rojos, naranjas y dorados, el molino de Glade Creek se alza sobre las aguas rocosas del arroyo que le da nombre, en el Parque Estatal Babcock, en Virginia Occidental (Estados Unidos). Parece una reliquia de la época de los pioneros, pero en realidad es un homenaje muy bien construido a la tradición harinera de los Apalaches.  
  
Se terminó en 1976 con piezas rescatadas de varios molinos históricos repartidos por el estado, de manera que reúne en una sola estructura fragmentos del pasado rural de la región. El agua del arroyo sigue moviendo la rueda y alimenta demostraciones de molienda tradicional.  
  
El molino es la postal del parque, pero no lo es todo: sus casi 1.700 hectáreas guardan cascadas, cauces pedregosos y kilómetros de sendas que en otoño estallan de color. Paisaje y oficio contando la misma historia, la de una comarca que aprendió a vivir del agua y de la madera.

[Mulino di Glade Creek, Babcock, West Virginia, USA](https://www.bing.com/search?q=Molino%20de%20Glade%20Creek,%20Babcock,%20Virginia%20Occidental,%20EE.%20UU.&FORM=&ref=truthdead.com)

Circondato da un mosaico di colori rosso, arancione e oro, il mulino di Glade Creek è posto sopra le acque rocciose dell'omonimo torrente nel Babcock State Park in West Virginia. Sembra un reperto dell'era dei pionieri, ma in realtà è un omaggio ben costruito alla tradizione della produzione di farina degli Appalachi.

Fu completato nel 1976 con pezzi recuperati da diversi mulini storici sparsi nello stato, così da riunire in un'unica struttura frammenti del passato rurale della regione. L'acqua del ruscello continua a muovere la ruota e alimenta dimostrazioni di macinazione tradizionale.

Il mulino è la cartolina del parco, ma non è tutto: i suoi quasi 1.700 ettari ospitano cascate, letti di fiumi pietrosi e chilometri di sentieri che esplodono di colori in autunno. Paesaggio e commercio raccontano la stessa storia, quella di una regione che ha imparato a vivere di acqua e legno.
