A perspective from Oregon’s mid-Willamette Valley

A Millersburg ride: The tanks are history

Written April 20th, 2024 by Hasso Hering

A bike ride Saturday took me to the corner of Conser and Old Salem roads in Millersburg, where the Kinder Morgan pipeline company owns a pumping station and a former tank farm that stored petroleum products years ago. Now the tanks are gone.


Millersburg: Those tanks may soon be gone

On Oct. 25 I leaned the bike against a gate in Millersburg and wondered about the unused fuel tanks behind it. The tanks — 15 of them as shown on Google satellite view — won’t be there much longer, it turns out.

The lot on the southeast corner of First Avenue and Burkhart Street in Albany is an interesting property, not least because of the memories it holds for one former Albany girl.
