Buffalo Scale

April 13, 2015

The Buffalo scale is located on the first floor near the 2nd street door and served the third floor grain elevator. This was the smaller grain elevator that we repaired and was operational. Unlike the Fairbanks scale that weighed the bin in the basement, the Buffalo scale had a platform on the first floor and you could still weigh yourself accurately on it- in bushels.

Built in 1875, the Emlenton Mill was one of the first steam powered grist mills in the United States. Later converted to gas and then electricity the Mill was in operation for over 100 years. Located in Emlenton, the southern gateway to the Oil Heritage Region, the Mill sat on the scenic Allegheny River, close to the Allegheny River Bike trail. It was located just off I80 at exit 45 on Main street in Emlenton, PA.

On February 5, 2015 the Emlenton Mill burned. Over 200 firefighters from 50 companies fought the fire and we thank them for braving the ice, fire and cold. We loved the Mill and will miss it.
