Probably one of the most extensive historical sites in northwest Pennsylvania, the Drake Well Museum in Titusville is located on the site of the birthplace of the modern oil industry. In 1859, Edwin Drake struck oil here, which has become one of our most valued resources.
The Drake Well site has been turned into a robust tribute to the oil industry, providing a museum, a replica of the original oil rig, a picnic area, several monuments, and much more. The Drake Well Museum has many artifacts and objects documenting the development of the oil boom in this region. There is also a gift shop where visitors can purchase various souvenirs.
