Muddy Creek Oil Well Living History Demonstration

Volunteers maintain this site, and interpret it's history for visitors. An operating central power is tucked in the woods just beyond Muskrat Cove where a stream crosses under the service road. Built at the turn of the century, it contains a Bessemer engine, pumping jacks, and other equipment used during the early days of the oil industry. The engine is operated several times a year, typically second Saturdays of summer and fall months.
