Titusville Pennsylvania.
Snugly situated in northwestern Pennsylvania lies a small town that means little to most people, yet without it and the history of the area, many of the things we take for granted today would be impossible.The small town of Titusville, mentioned in history books the world over, is today drawing its share of tourists, from the world over. For a town of under 25000 people that’s quite a feat.
Titusville Pennsylvania is the site of the worlds first oil producing well, which was drilled by Colonel Edwin L Drake. The city of Titusville commemorates his discovery with a park that offers you the chance to do some of the things that were required by Edwin Drake in his own bid for a producing oil well.
Drake Well Museum offers you the chance to see how petroleum is produced today and to try your hand at drilling with a spring drill, made of wood. A fascinating town aside from the Native American and the drilling history, Titusville was also a home away from home to some families whose names will still be recognized today, among them J Paul Getty and the Rockerfellers to name just a few.
Titusville Pennsylvania is a view into the past, with legends such as Coal Oil Johnny celebrated here. Among the things to do in Titusville are concerts in the park, a 26 mile ride on an original steam engine through the valley that changed the world.Pitthole ghost town draws many visitors from the world over to view the museum and see working reproductions of the old equipment that the valley used to bring about the flow of oil.
Hotels in Titusville are plentiful even for such a small town, and outside the city sits a remarkable golfing resort and motel to offer you something to do when you’re not visiting the historical areas of the town.
Fishing in Titusville’s Oil and Pine Creeks is known in the entire north and the fall foliage tours garners visitors from many states away with its brilliant color.
Your visit to Titusville and the surrounding areas will take you back in time, and offer you a glimpse of the way things were, and what you might have done without had it not been for the ingenuity of a small town colonel with big ideas.
