If you’re ever wanting to get a little history of the “oil boom” this is a great place to go! Staff was very friendly and so knowledgeable.

My wife, daughter, and I were at the museum recently. We were very impressed with the museum and the story it was telling. Lots of old items from the late 1800’s/ early 1900’s. If you like history, this is a great place to spend a couple of hours or more if you like to read everything. …

Thoroughly enjoyed the visit / Covid, so no tour per say, but the buildings themselves were decently signed and you could move at your own pace, spending as much or as little time as you liked.

We are sorry that you missed the gusher. Because it takes so much water to do the gusher, we can only do it 3-4 times a month unless a tour pays for it. We have our gusher schedule on our website and facebook page and, if anyone calls, we can tell you the next time it runs.
