Washingtonville Lime Kilns

 
Lime Kilns south of Washingtonville
These are just down the road from what was once Frank Delong's Home in Washingtonville.

The address for these is 300 Bush Road, Danville Pa.  Although a Danville address, this is closer to Washingtonville than to the Danville borough.

In Limestones of Pennsylvania By Benjamin LeRoy Miller · 1925, under Washingtonville, Miller says:
"The two main quarries in this area are about two miles southwest of the town of Washingtonville.  They are along Limestone ridge.  No detailed reports of these quarries  are available because they were not working at the time of the visit."

Bush road does appear to be roughly 2 miles south west of Washingtonville.

February 1872, Charles Mufflet suffocated in Lime Kiln at Washingtonville
