East Texas has a long and rich history with the oil industry and the East Texas Oil Museum is a great place to immerse yourself in the culture and history surrounding the area. The museum has exhibits outlining the discovery of oil in the area as well as the further production continuing on from the 1930s and how it shaped the land and community as a whole. There is a lot of very cool memorabilia in the museum that gives wonder and engaging glimpse into the area’s past.
