The modem petroleum industry had its birth just west of this region at Titusville with the drilling of the legendary Drake Well in 1859. Subsequently, the region now encompassed by the boundaries of the ANP was proven to contain numerous oil and gas fields, many of which are still producing today. One hundred and thirty years of petroleum production have left a considerable amount of material culture scattered throughout the region, artifacts which have heretofore attracted little attention from the historical community. This is somewhat surprising given the level of interest in oil folklore and history in the Oil Region today. In the Fall of 1993 the Institute for the History of Technology and Industrial Archaeology at West Virginia University entered into a cooperative agreement with the Allegheny National Forest to evaluate the historical significance of the petroleum industry within the forest boundaries. Much of the material culture left behind by the industry consists of the components of "central power" pumping systems in various stages of deterioration, mostly dating to the early part of this century. Since these artifacts have now entered into the realm of "cultural resources," it has become incumbent upon the resource managers of the Allegheny National Forest to judge what among this scattered collection of machinery is historically significant and thus might require preservation of some sort. Such an evaluation would allow the ANP to focus its efforts in preservation and documentation on those sites which most deserve such treatment. The following monograph includes both a narrative contextual history of the subregional petroleum industry and a detailed technological history of the development of the central power system, a process that enabled the continued local production of oil on a rational economic basis-thereby consolidating and stabilizing a regional processing and refining industry. As the remains of central power systems are so prevalent in the ANF-and since so little work has been done on their history-this report takes a detailed look at the development of the various components of central power systems. The history of each major type of equipment found on the ANF is discussed and placed within its context in the ii Alleglm1y Oil regional and national petroleum industry. We wish to thank all those persons who contributed their time and expertise to this project. Dr. Emory Kemp. Director of the lnstiwte for the History of · Introduction Technology and industrial Archaeology, was instrumental in his support for this research. Billy Joe Peyton kept the scope of work under control and on some approximation of irs schedule.

  • The Drake Well Memorial Park
    THE DRAKE WELL MEMORIAL PARK BY PAUL H. GIDDENS Curator, Drake Well Memorial Park, Titusville, Pennsylvania O N AUGUST 27, 1859, Colonel E. L. Drake completed the first v well ever drilled for petroleum about two and one-half miles south of Titusville, Pennsylvania. The completion of this oil well marks the beginning of the petroleum industry, not only in the United States but in the world, and Titusville became its birthplace. From the time Drake completed his well until 1914 various movements originated in the northwestern Pennsylvania oil region to honor Colonel Drake and to memorialize this epoch-making event. In the main, these movements have taken three forms; one proposed to erect a monument to Colonel Drake; a second pro- posed to preserve and mark the site of the Drake well; and the third contemplated something more than simply marking the site of the well with an inanimate marker. The first movement realized its goal on October 4, 1901, when a magnificent monument to the memory of Colonel Drake, the generous gift of Mr. Henry H. Rogers, was unveiled and dedi- cated in Woodlawn Cemetery, Titusville. Within a short time, the body of Colonel Drake was exhumed at Bethlehem, Pennsyl- vania, and removed to Woodlawn Cemetery. The second movement, one for preserving and marking the site of the Drake Well, was inaugurated by Canadohta Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, Titusville. The first prob- lem in connection with this movement was to secure the land upon which the site of the Drake Well was located. Mr. David Emery, a pioneer oil producer and one of those interested in erecting a suitable monument on the site, had bought the land, and drilled the hole down to the third sand.

  • CONNECTING to COLLECTIONS PENNSYLVANIA a Five-Year Preservation Plan for Pennsylvania PROJECT OVERVIEW
    CONNECTING TO COLLECTIONS PENNSYLVANIA a five-year preservation plan for Pennsylvania PROJECT OVERVIEW Imagining Our Future: Preserving Pennsylvania’s Collections, published in August 2009, includes an in-depth analysis of conditions and needs at Pennsylvania’s collecting institutions, a detailed preservation plan to improve collections care throughout the state, and a five-year implementation timetable (2010-2015). The analysis concludes that many of Pennsylvania’s most important historic holdings must be considered at risk. Millions of items comprise these collections, and the financial resources available to care for them are limited and shrinking. Pennsylvania is a state vibrant with world-class art museums, libraries, historic sites. Arts and culture play a substantial role in creating business, jobs, and bringing revenue into the state and stewardship of its artifacts is too important —to the state, to the people, to the history of country—to be ignored. This call to action is a rallying cry for all future generations of Pennsylvanians. With generous support from the Institute of Museum and Library Services, and in close partnership with three leading preservation organizations, the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission (PHMC), the Pennsylvania Federation of Museums and Historical Organizations (PFMHO), and LYRASIS, the Conservation Center for Arts & Historic Artifacts organized and led the assessment and planning process. The project was capably guided by a Task Force with representatives from the Office of (PA) Commonwealth Libraries, the Western Pennsylvania Museum Council, the Pennsylvania Caucus of the Mid- Atlantic Regional Archives Conference, Pennsylvania State University, the Philadelphia Area Consortium of Special Collections Libraries, the University of Pittsburgh, and Carnegie Mellon University.
