The Baldwin-Whitehall Patch has partnered with the Baldwin Historical Society to bring you a weekly trivia question that delves into our area's colorful past.
Pat Lombardi and Patty Woehler, co-presidents of the society, generously write the questions and provide the pictures.
Here is this week's question:
At around 1860, shortly before the Civil War, a busy sawmill rested along the Monongahela River.
And built up around that mill was a thriving town that boasted a boat-building industry, stores, hotels, an inn, taverns, a train station, a glass factory, a school and a post office.
The post office stayed in service until 1914.
What was the name of this small town in the Baldwin area?
