A tour of the Petroleum Centre train station hosted by Oil Creek State Park will be held from 1 to 2:30 p.m. Thursday.
Participants will be able to see what life was like in the 1860s oil boom town as the group will go on a guided tour of “the wickedest town east of the Mississippi.”
Participants will walk the boardwalk trail, a recreation of what the 1860s sidewalks would have been like, and learn about the businesses, homes, and people in Petroleum Centre.
