California Oil Museum... From Fossils to Fill’er Up

From fossils to fill 'er up, the California Oil Museum tells the story of the black bonanza that created wealth, work, and prosperity for generations of Californians. Founded in 1950, the California Oil Museum is housed in the original 1890's headquarters of Union Oil Company. The Museum highlights the inner workings of the state's black gold industry through interactive displays, videos, working models, games, photographs, restored gas station memorabilia, and an authentic turn-of-the century cable-tool drilling rig. In addition to the permanent petroleum exhibits, the Museum presents new exhibits of science, transportation and history throughout the year.
