Old Powerhouse Attraction Details
Old Powerhouse
The founding of the Bradford oil field in 1875 brought a new dimension to America's oil industry, and it continues to be a productive part of Pennsylvania's petroleum industry even today. This powerhouse was once an active part of the oil industry. Now it serves as a reminder of times gone by and the need to preserve our past. Step into a living history lesson as you explore this historic site. In recent years, with the help of many partners, the USDA Forest Service has restored the powerhouse as an interpretive site. You may check out an audio tape about the Old Powerhouse from any Allegheny National Forest office. Demonstrations of the powerhouse engine and equipment are provided during special events or by appointment.
