SUMMARY

The site of the world's first oil well and the point of origin for the modern petroleum industry. Edwin Drake's well that struck oil on 27 August 1859 revealed that drilling was an effective way to produce large quantities of crude oil. When spectators followed, the industry boomed in the region. Within a short time, oil drilling became a worldwide phenomenon. The guidebook discusses the oil industry in Pennsylvania, focusing on the story of Drake and the industry in Oil Creek Valley, and concludes with a tour of the museum and its grounds.Sherman, Jon is the author of 'Drake Well Museum and Park Pennsylvania Trail of History Guide', published 2002 under ISBN 9780811729604 and ISBN 0811729605.
