Kilgore Historical Preservation Foundation

Kilgore Historical Preservation Foundation KHPF was founded in 1987 to preserve and restore the unique oil derrick skyline of boomtown Kilgore.

Initially concerned about the vanishing derricks, the foundation has evolved into protecting the unique heritage of Kilgore, as well. We are a volunteer organization that perserves and promotes the history of Kilgore.
