Cool indoor-outdoor look of the museum displays. Haha, I remember Lucy and Ricky Ricardo had an old TV set like one of those.
Love my hometown! Been 15 years or so since iv made it to the Oil Museum. Going to have to plan a visit soon!
This is another great story of Texas, my wife and I moved there in 1976. I managed the Brangus cow herd for Mr. Curly Taylor, who was one of many organizer in restoring the riches acre. My wife was a Pharmist at the Pioneer Drug Store for Mr. Grady Jones, he told here a many a stories about the boom days of Kilgore. It’s a great town!🇺🇸🤠
Was that at Curly's land in Leverett's Chapel?
Yes and new London where we lived on FM 850

dogonnit. I was just up in Palestine. I wish I'd seen this before. I definitely would have had a look at Kilgore! Wow those museums are awesome, Thanks!
It’s amazing how is locals just over look our own landmarks.

Two or three years ago they took the big wooden oil derrick down at the museum, they left the drawworks outside but there used to be a large wooden Derrick out front.
You forgot to go over and get a photo or video of the Whataburger well it sits as you go into the big softball complex in Kilgore. I think that park is sponsored by Whataburger and the call Jack as you come in is white and orange in whataburger colors.
Plus I hope you drove about 15 miles south too new London and get to see the school explosion museum. Now you wanna get a lump in your throat you go to it.
Thanks for that. I will look into it.
Char burger was much better.
Great history, I'm praying I see the day the entire.fossil fuels industry is history.
