During the early 1900’s, due to railroad facilities, a large portion of the activity of the mill business was the shipping of potatoes and grain to brokers in the Philadelphia area. Other activities were retail sales of feed, lumber, building materials, and coal.




"Tracks of the Past" (above) In 1999 wildlife artist Dan Christ, portrayed Kempton as it appeared in 1920. This print was done as part of a special historical series in honor of Kempton's 125th Anniversary. To see more of Dan Christ's art click on the following link.  http://www.danchristgallery.com



Turn of the century photo (above) of the feed mill at that time known as M.C. Dietrich Department Store. The Albrights and later the Wessners continued to operate a General store in the 2nd floor of the building, selling groceries, dry goods and hardware until  Nov. 1, 1986.


The Mill housed the Kempton Post Office from the early 1900's until the mid 1960's.The photo dating from the 1950's shown below on the left indicates Lenore "Dixie" Wessner (Butch & Dale's mother) sorting the mail. The orginal Post office door is still in use today as an entry to the store (pictured below on right).



In the 1960’s, after the business was taken over by Robert G. & Ronald R. Wessner, the type of business changed. A grain elevator was established, hence, the buying and selling of corn, wheat, soybeans, oats and barley with grain drying and storage facilities available. Custom milling and retailing of animal feeds also became a major portion of the business. Currently, in addition to the aforementioned aspects of the business, Albright’s Mill LLC also retails fertilizer, seed, coal, and farm supplies. We strive to continue serving our customers with quality products and services.
