Located in Ontario's Oil Heritage District, the Oil Museum of Canada National Historic Site preserves the site of the first commercial oil well in North America, dug by James Miller Williams in 1858.
While at the Museum, you can learn how Lambton sparked the international oil boom and discover the people who developed specialized technology and skills while travelling the world seeking oil. You can explore the gallery, the interactive international driller's tent, historic buildings, and discover the oldest operating oil field in the world, next door at Fairbank Oil Fields.
The museum is just 30 minutes southeast of Sarnia in Oil Springs. Stop in to discover the important role Lambton County and our oilmen have played in the development of the global oil industry.
