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:

This south Baldwin Borough farm (then Baldwin Township) was a working family farm from about 1840 until the mid-1900s. The farm property remained in the family until 2011.

In the early 1900s, there was a stone quarry on the farm that produced Pennsylvania Bluestone, which was used to build houses in western Pennsylvania.

In fact, the stone was used at the Oliver Miller Homestead in South Park.

Many artifacts from this old Baldwin farm were donated to the Baldwin Historical Society Willett Log House and are still on display there in north Baldwin.
