Nice little place and I love how each tree was labeled.

Took a different road on the way to L.A. and ended up in Taft (I'm not a big fan of Hwy 5) This was a spur of the moment trip so we ended up staying in Taft. At our hotel, we asked the receptionist what is something cool to do in Taft and the oil museum came highly recommended. On Saturday morning we went to the museum and let me tell you it's a historical treasure. You not only learn about the oil history in the area but you also learn about Taft, Maricopa, and all the nearby towns. The staff, all volunteers, are super friendly and they took the time and explained everything to us. I highly recommend stopping here if you like to learn about history and see the evolution of oil pumping machines. This is a must see in my books!

Feb/19/22-Visited ~10am- Great museum on Oil Exploration and history of the Area. Good Education on how Oil Produced for last 100+-years. Good Informative Volunteers, explaining the musem(inside exhibits). Even out door exhibits were very interesting and educated me on how Oil is intertwined to various products we use- Very Nice Education!
