Celebrating the 150th Anniversary of the First Commercial Oil Strike

07/10/09 06:15

It was 150 years ago when Drake Well and Uncle Billy Smith sunk their drill bit to the earth and almost missed the narrow pocket of crude oil, which eventually fed the world's appetite for oil.

Local Pennsylvania museums, including those in Venango county, will celebrate this momentous event. Visit Oil150.com for more details.
