Next year is the 50th anniversary of the Penn Brad Oil Museum, and the 150th anniversary of the oil fields starting in Bradford.

Several oil enthusiasts have started a committee to plan a big celebration next year. The committee is looking for people interested in participating in the planning process. The plan is to include historical items and photos.

Anyone with items of interest, or who is interested in joining the committee, should email pennbrad.oilmuseum@yahoo.com, or call the Oil Museum at (814) 362-1955.

Isabelle Chaplain will serve as committee chair. The event will be held in September 2021.
