THE PETROLIA DISCOVERY

The Petrolia Discovery gives to its audiences a deeper appreciation of those Canadian pioneers who struggled to understand and control a resource but were too late to stop it from slipping through their fingers.

(Museum)
The visitor will find here the workshop and training ground of a body of men who, 120 years ago, went into the world to found what would become one of the world's biggest industries, but whose story is largely untold or forgotten...


Visitors to the Petrolia Discovery experience a fascinating, one-of-a-kind glimpse into the early days of the world's oil boom. From the first, hand-dug wells of the 1850s, to the great refineries and machine shops which abounded at the turn of the century, Petrolia's Oil Heritage runs old and deep as the wells themselves. Guests not only take in historical displays and informative movies, but get a chance to see an authentic 1860s oilfield in action.
