Forgotten Bluffton: What is this community's oldest structure

You'll find it along Riley Creek on Thurman Street
Posted by Fred Steiner on November 8, 2020 - 2:36pm

What is the oldest structure in the village of Bluffton? And, what was its use?

The structure could pre-date Shannon, meaning it was here when the very first settlers called this area Croghan in the 1830s.

The structure is on the Riley Creek bank at the bend of Thurman Street, across from the EMS building.  

It is the remains of a lime kiln and ashery used in making soap.
