Oil Museum of Canada

Visitors from around the world tour the Oil Museum of Canada to learn the story of Canada’s Oil Pioneers – a unique and captivating era of history!

The Oil Museum of Canada, in the Village of Oil Springs, preserves the site of the first commercial oil well in North America.  This oil heritage district also developed the world's first gusher and the world’s first oil exchange.  While visiting the museum guests can explore a replica of the first oil well dug by James Miller Williams in 1858, or they can view original oil wells adjacent to the museum which continue to produce oil to this day, on one of the oldest oilfields in the world.  Visitors will experience the eventful life and times of Canada’s oil pioneers and the birth of the oil industry in North America.
