Oil and gas curator David McKain is gratified the Rathbone Oil Well Historic
Park is getting some more financial help. A $96,000 federal grant will help
complete more projects at the fledgling Burning Springs park along the Little
Kanawha.
The new money comes from the National Scenic Byways Discretionary
Fund.
The site of the famous Rathbone well is being developed by the Oil and Gas
Museum of Parkersburg. A cabin is being remodeled for a museum and early
drilling equipment will be displayed around the park. The actual well has
been placed back in operation.
McKain said the park could be opened for visitors this summer.
