Luling Oil Museum

10/09/2026

🖤🛢️ We are proud of the addition of our audio tour. It adds so much.

🛢️ This week in Petroleum History:
On Oct 3, 1930, the Daisy Bradford No. 3 opened the East Texas "Black Giant" oilfield!

BUT... Luling got there first! 😉
On Aug 9, 1922, Edgar B. Davis hit oil with the Rafael Rios No. 1, opening a field 12 miles long. By 1924, it had about 400 producing wells.

Want to know more? Come listen to the stories at the Oil Museum!
Their newly added 24 stop Audio Tour is awesome and adds another level to your experience. 🎧

📍 421 E. Davis St

Thousands crowded their way to the site of Daisy Bradford No. 3, hoping to be there when and if oil gushed from the well to wash away the misery of the Great Depression.

Another awesome tour this week! The Studebaker Car Club is spending the weekend here touring and having fun.

We love it when groups have a lot of questions and enjoy our museum; it makes the tours engaging and fun for everyone.

Now they’re off to lunch and shopping around town. Then they’ll visit Zedler Mill and then Pioneer Flight Museum for dinner and a tour tomorrow.

Thank you to Cappleman Cars for bringing them into town and to the Luling Area Chamber of Commerce for working with them and getting them to stay in town this weekend. ❤️Team Work.
