I enjoyed seeing how this oil field in Texas was the beginning of all the oilfields. My brother-in-law and his wife and my son were with me and enjoyed this trip while we were traveling back home.

Nice little bit of local history with buildings of the times filled with labeled items of the era. Nice and welcoming Lady at front. Cool how oil was found! A must see for the area.

A nice place to revisit Beaumont's history and striking oil. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. A/C in each of the buildings was nice on a hot day.
