This is the story of how the discovery of oil changed McDonald, PA in the 1890’s. The illustrations by EJ Meeker and text are taken from a newspaper of the day. Production and narration by Rick Glasby.
I live a stone … I live a stone throw from McDonald PA, and have an old, still functioning horse head oil pump next to my yard. The oldest locals I can find say it’s always been there. There are also at least a dozen I know of which are shut down, abandoned, and rotting away. So this video satisfied some of my curiosity about the area. I also much enjoyed it.
