TOBY, PA


Toby, PA was home to the Toby Mine and the Limestone Mine. This vintage photo is the tipple for the Limestone Mine. (Photo courtesy of Harriet Moyer)

Not much survives from the mines at Toby but these company built houses, said to have been constructed in 1911, are still in existence. This part of Toby was also known as "Lower Toby."


I was told that this structure at Toby was originally a stable for the mines, but was later turned into a private residence.
