Point of Interest

At the south end of the Waitz Rd is the McClintock #1 historic site. Here you can see the world's oldest continuously-producing oil well. It was drilled with muscle power in 1861 and has produced continuously since then. This is a shallow, stripper well; this sort of well is often independently owned and produces only a few barrels of oil a day, but together such wells generate 30% of American oil. The well (now owned by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania) yields only about 50 barrels a year, but it does still produce. If you are really fortunate, it may be running when you go there, and you can appreciate the light sweet order of the oil. The site has parking, benches, and interpretive signs.
