Our Historic building needs some refinements

We're drilling down to the easy stuff, fracking the more difficult areas, refining what we find, and sending it downstream through the Oil and Gas Museum pipeline!

Our projects include a new visitor elevator, improved lighting, and an upgraded HVAC system at the W.H. Smith Hardware Store, home of the Oil and Gas Museum and the Parkersburg Culture, History and Industrial Museum.

We need your help!

We are launching a campaign to install a Visitor Elevator to open up the third and fourth floors for even more wonderful exhibits featuring the history of the Mid-Ohio Valley.  Total project costs are still being collected.  Stay tuned for more information.


Thank you for your support! Come visit us soon!!
