Petrolia Discovery
This operational historic oilfield located on a 60 acre site is a living museum pumping oil using 'jerker lines' just as it was done in the 1850s. The Fitzgerald rig is the largest of its kind in the world. The oil industry started in Lambton County, not Pensylvannia nor Alberta; it was right here.
