Mill Renovations

Mill 2005

The Emlenton Mill was built in 1875 and ran for 100 years. During the 1980s the 1st and 2nd floor of the mill was run as an antique coop and major cleanup and electrical renovations were completed. The Mill was purchased by Paul and Nancy Newbury in 2005. With the help of Americorps and many other friends and family the patio, boardwalk, creamery and bunkhouse have been renovated. New roofing was added to the forth and fifth floor and new windows and siding has been added to much of the mill. There is still much to be done. Come and see what is happening at the Mill.

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.
