The first indication of something special appears as you are driving uphill on the Smith Hollow Road approaching the museum..........you spot the roofline of the barn/museum and the oil signs.  You know you are coming to something special!

The hard work of Don and his family in creating this Museum of tools, engines, photos and oil-field related items as well as tools of timber days gone bye, is a well kept major secret of this area.

With his permission, I am publishing my photos of his open house of 9/22/2007.
