Historic site of the first commercial oil well with a reconstructed wooden derrick, period buildings, museum exhibits and riverside park. Shoot dramatic vertical lines of the derrick, weathered textures, interpretive signage and the small park creek. Best at golden hour or overcast for even detail; weekday mornings are quieter. Onsite parking and paid museum entry; some outdoor areas are wheelchair accessible. Seasonal events add living-history subjects.
