We've driven by this place countless times and finally decided to stop and check it out. We're definitely glad we did! It was a self guided tour but the museum manager, Fran, asked if it was ok if he joined us occasionally to answer any questions and just generally give us some interesting information. Well worth the visit. Very interesting and very informative! If you're there to visit the Zippo Museum be sure to add the Penn Brad Oil Museum to your list!

Fascinating little museum where you learn alot about how they drilled for oil from the beginning. There's a big reproduction oil derrick outside. The gentleman at the desk gave us a running commentary on the exhibits, It was interesting especially because of the oil industry in Pennsylvania. A little out of the way for us but definitely worth it.
There are lot of small "pumping jacks" scattered around the area, which are working wells. Be sure to check out the one in the McDonald's parking lot in downtown Bradford!

Stopped in during our visit to the Bradford area. You start off with a short movie about 7 minutes long. The gentleman there then asked if we wanted him to take us through or to go ourselves. We asked him to take us through and we sure are glad we did, The amount of knowledge he shared with us was amazing! Loved learning about the history of the oil industry in the Bradford area.

Interesting- Worth a Visit! Our guide, Fran, gave us a comprehensive tour. Having grown up in the region, he had great stories about the region’s history with context. He started up several pump motors and moving dioramas. A lot to see-allow about 2 hours to make the most of your visit. They also have a well-stocked library that houses an extensive collection of books written about the region.

Wow....what an amazing museum! We had planned to visit back in October during a visit to the Allegheny National Forest area but unfortunately we were there a day they weren't open. So this time we got our chance. Since there were very few people there at the time, we were given a private tour by one of the staff who grew up around the business. His personal association and history with everything he told us made for a very entertaining and interesting account of all that the museum has to offer. While it's not a large museum, there is SO much to see. I think we were there for over 2 hours, and one could spend considerably more time looking around at everything. Knowing basically nothing about the oil history in that area, it was truly fascinating. I highly recommend it. Even if you feel an oil museum is not high on your list, I know you'll come away being more than glad you stopped in!

This is a small but charming museum. It is inviting from the outside and is handicap accessible. The person who runs the place is very knowledgeable and does a great job orienting visitors to the artifacts and why the place is important.
He was also very accommodating , he noticed that I struggled with my mobility and made sure I was comfortable. There is a short video in the beginning and a very small museum area. There is more outside the visitors center but I was unable to go see it. He took the other visitors over to see what he referred to as “The Tool Shop”.
My one disappointment was that the gift shop was much smaller than I had hoped. I like to be able to purchase a book that further interprets the location abs surrounding town.

I am not a huge museum goer, but I love local history. So glad we stopped here on our way through to Bradford. well worth the admission fee to support this small but excellent museum showcasing Pennsylvania history. The guide was excellent at answering any questions we had and explaining various points of the museum. Will definitely be back!

I’ve driven by the oil museum for years on my way to visit family in Bradford. Finally decided to visit with a few friends this past weekend....and we are glad we did! The tour guide gave us an excellent tour and I learned so much about the history of the oil industry in Bradford. I always knew Bradford had a rich history but this museum really makes you appreciate it on a new level. A must stop when driving up 219!

Our tour guide, Sherry, was fantastic! She provided lots of details on how the oil industry in Bradford began and many interesting factual tidbits. A reasonable fee is charged for admission and family friendly. Lots of vintage equipment and a short movie clip is offered. There is also a library if you want to research petroleum products, engineering, etc. Well worth stop!
