There was a Buttermilk Falls that I visited many times as a youth in Leechburg, at least that's what we called it. It was on the hillside across the river from Leechburg in Allegheny Twp, Westmoreland Co on a small stream that is in the valley that PA56 goes S toward Weinel's Crossroads. The road that goes to West Leechburg crosses over the stream. I might add that many of these natural features that we knew by name are actually on the modern local maps of the area with those same names. >Date: Fri, 20 Jul 2001 22:34:40 -0500 >From: Sher Dantzer <[email protected]> >To: [email protected] >Subject: Re: [PAARMSTR-L] Hmmm, Vandergrift? > >Bobby.
