Powered Auger

We found something in the fire pit that we didn’t recognize. It was an auger (see 4/3/15 post about the pair of pants packer in the first floor packing area). So we searched through our photos and found the motor and the belts and wheels that must have driven that auger. In ten years, I had never put this together until I saw the auger in the fire pit. Cool!

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.
