Stroggins Mill

Scroggins Mill Rural Heritage

Future Historic Museum, Learning Center and Park

Soon after the railroad reached Lebanon, a large grain warehouse was built on railroad property along the tracks near the Lebanon depot.
The warehouse, built in 1881, was leased in 1883 by John Settle and was known as the Lebanon Warehouse. The warehouse had a capacity of 60,000 bushels. Later it was leased and used for many years by Ralph Scroggin, and hence became known as Scoggins Mill. During this time, in the latter part of the 19th century and early 20th century, the Lebanon economy relied on the main crops of oats and wheat. This building is in remarkable condition. It is an outstanding example of timber-frame construction as practiced at that time. Hand-hewn beams of 13 ½ X 17 ½ inches support the main floor, with grain bins on the second floor accessible only by cat walk.

The newer portion of the building was found to house two fully intact refrigerator ice cars dating from 1912 and 1913 respectively.

Today we see the need for wheat to grace our farms again. Our hope to restore this building is great in the
wake of so many of our heritage properties vanishing, leaving the bustling history to only the imagination.
