When Colonel Edwin Drake struck oil along the banks of Oil Creek in August 1859, few people in Titusville dreamed that the oil industry that began here would one day grow into a world-wide enterprise. Drake Well Museum tells that story. Oil touches our lives every day in plastics, synthetic fabrics, medicines, gasoline and more! Your students will learn how oil changed the world as they tour Drake Well Museum’s exhibits, see working machinery, shop in the Museum Store, and walk along Oil Creek.
Come live the lease life at Drake Well Museum through interactive stations and hands-on demonstrations. Listed below is the normal curriculum for the day.
