Worth it even if you dont know anything about the oil business. The big tool shop was great and has an exhibit youve probably never seen before. The host was very knowledgeable and took time to explain the items we were interested in. Wish there was more worthwhile things in the gift shop: reproduction maps of the wells or replicas of the nitro canisters would have been a hoot.
We love history and on our last visit two years ago we were give a great tour about Pennsylvania oil and Kendal oil Corp. Lots of great info about the early days of oil good and bad. Well worth a stop. Opens June 30 and we will be there.
A outstanding museum about the history of oul in Bradfort. Sad at ghis time the oil rig is closed but lots of other great things to see. We were lucky to have Tom M. as our guide. Well worth the $5.00 fee. Hi
Good museum, but not following social distancing or masking.
Great tour by someone who loves their job
Very knowledgeable, nice museum, lots of history
A really nice museum with alot of history and so much information. The woman who gave us a tour. Could answer any questions we had wil alot of accurate info and examples. I would highly recommend this place for anyone who is interested in history or geology. So stop and learn why pennsylvania oil is/was so sought after for it qualities. And enjoy a few hours where your kids put away their phones.
Great place to visit and learn the history the staff was friendly and knowledgeable and the museum was very interesting. Well worth the time.
I learned so much from this visit, and had just a wonderful time. It is easily worth the entrance fee, and would be even if they doubled it. Dont miss this opportunity to learn about the area history of oil and gas, and have some great demonstrations.
Informative but rinky dink. Person in charge was a little rude. Could use some people skills.
Small place but had a lot of history and quite a lot of things to look at about the old drilling days. It was a good stop on our history tour
Good museum for those interested in the early history of the Bradford oil industry.
Impressive , interesting
Is their any information about the men that constructed the Derrick?
Very nice little small town museum on the local oil industry. Lots of artifacts to look at and see. Some background info was provided, but I thought that the stories behind some of the items could be more extensive. They have a real well drilling rig on site and some working old heavy engines that were used during the day.
First class museum on the history of oil production in and near Bradford. If you have any interest in history you should visit. Sam the docent is a supreme wealth of information and needs to write a book! Thank you for the tour, I will be back.
A really nice place to visit. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Lots of history here.
Loved it. Tour guide was great . Loved the hit miss motor . Nice old antiques
Xcelent presentation,. Knowledgible.
Awesome place if your into oil and its history.

Very interesting museum
This was very educational, the Employee will tell you how everything works, he goes out of his way to be helpful!
Really cool little museum. Had lots of fun
Interesting place
Charming olde time musuem. Wonderful guide. I learned all sorts of things...who would have thought petroleum could be so interesting! How oil was discovered, why PA oil was so highly valued...(and it saved the great whales from extinction!) What different oils look like, how they managed to pump it out...spoiler: Zippo lighters in every miners tool kit!And an unexpected delight: I bought a $1.25 chocolate bar in the gift shop made by a local company. Omg, Amazing! (If dark, rich, Belgium chocolate is your taste). If had opened it before I got back in the car, I would have bought more. I seriously considered turning around.
Great place to stop , tons of unique displays about the oil heritage in the region
Nice museum for the oil history of the area!

We had gotten there just after it closed, but the outside exhibit was still open. We were granted permission to walk through it and see the equipment for ourselves.
