109th Anniversary of Oil in Texas
Jan

2010
It would be nearly impossible to overemphasize the significance of the discovery of oil in Texas!
To celebrate this important milestone, your family might enjoy a field trip to Beaumont at the heart of the East Texas oilfields. The Spindletop-Gladys City Boomtown Museum is open Tuesday-Saturday 10-5 and Sunday from 1-5. (Note that they are closed on Mondays.) Admission is a very reasonable $3 for adults, $1 for children.
Visit their website (http://www.spindletop.org/) for more information, maps, and contact numbers.
