Its more than just oil history and an oil derrick; but also including the workshop of H.C. Nicols whom worked as an acetylene torch welder for the oil field from 1912 and appears to have been sitting on this site. The large yellow machinery is called a Cooper double drum pulling unit. and the cannon probably has nothing to do with oil, though is a nice addition, including a wooden jail cell.

Accessible 24/7. No bathroom, garbage can or water. A couple very concise signs.

Enjoyed reading and seeing the 1st commercial oil well west of the Mississippi.

Park more like cool area to look at from diving past but you might get bitten if you actually treat it like a park

Very accessible, with some interesting onion rings.

Not too much to see. A few memorials stating the history of Corsicana as the first player in economic oil exploration. Housed a few oil field service equipment. I did enjoy reading about the use of the canons on oil wells. There is a jail setup from the oil fields. A good way to spend about 20 minutes of your day.

Nice piece of history.

My two young boys really enjoyed getting up close and personal with these pieces of history! We did find fire ants though, so be careful.

Not to good of a place

One of a kind place! Bits and pieces of our (dependant) petroleum past.

Awesome place

Great park honoring first oil well
