First Oil Pipeline PA568 Print E-mail
Constructed in the fall of 1865. Following a straight course about 5 miles in length, it transported oil by pumps from Pithole to a railhead at Miller Farm, thus revolutionizing the transportation of petroleum. Dug up when Pithole wells were pumped dry. Trench is visible here and at points along the course of the old pipeline.
Pa227, 4 miles SW of Pleasantville. Venango County Pennsylvania.
