Located 3 miles south of Bradford, PA, the Penn-Brad Oil Museum’s purpose is to “…Preserve the philosophy, the spirit, and the accomplishments of an oil country community; taking visitors back to early oil boom days of the first billion dollar oil field.” Providing artifacts, tours, and explanations of the oil industry of the past, the Penn-Brad Oil Museum is an interesting and interactive experience. The guided tours are conducted by oil country veterans who volunteer their time to relate exciting first-hand experiences.
The central attraction is a 72 foot wooden drilling rig, which at its construction in the 1880’s, provided 74% of all the oil used in the United States. The Penn-Brad Oil Museum contains a collection of artifacts, mementos and antique field equipment from the oil industry during the 1890s oil-producing days.
