Men Of Ivy – Pit-Hole City – Very Rare Record With A Historical Story (Titusville Pa)

Posted by admin on September 14th, 2009 and filed under pennsylvania oil | 2 Comments »

The Men Of Ivy from Muskingum College in Ohio. This is an interesting record going into great detail in a clever way about Titusville Pa’s oil boom. In 1859 Edward Drake hit oil which launched America’s oil industry as we know it. In 1865, just as the civil war was ending, the “Pit-Hole Creek” oil field was discovered. I’m not sure who “Frasier” was that they talk about in this song. From the little bit of information I was able to find on the subject it seems that this song is accurate. This is a very rare 45 from around 1960.

Bradford, Pennsylvania gusher oil well

Posted by admin on August 27th, 2009 and filed under pennsylvania oil | 1 Comment »

On Saturday, August 22, 2009, with spectators hollering out “fire in the hole!,” an oil well in Bradford, Pennsylvania was “shot” as part of the Bradford Oil 150 celebration.

The world’s first commercial oil well was drilled in not-too-far-away Titusville in 1859. Bradford became a huge oil town in the late 1800s and early 1900s. The Bradford Era newspaper still declares the town to be “The High Grade Oil Metropolis of the World.”

This oil well is on Bradford School District property and will be a working well that is used to teach schoolchildren about the oil industry. It was drilled more than 1,400 feet deep.
