Kilgore, TX - East Texas Oil Museum - 2
Part of an extensive, recreated general store at the East Texas Oil Museum on the campus of Kilgore College in Kilgore, Texas. This museum depicts the era of oil discovery and production in the early 1930s, from the largest oil field inside U.S. boundaries, in dioramas, movies, sound presentations, antiques donated by East Texas citizens, and a colorful depiction of the main street of an East Texas "Boomtown USA."
