The popular 1968 Oil City film has been re-issued and will be available for purchase during the Oil Heritage Festival.
“We know there are many class reunions held during the festival and so we wanted to have it on hand,” said Dave Anderton, president of the Oil City Heritage Society that sponsored the project.
The hour-long film, entitled “Our Town,” follows a newsreel format and has been converted into a DVD. It features many Oil City businesses as well as extensive footage of Oil City public schools, Venango Christian High School and more.
The DVD is available at the Venango Museum, the Oil City Library and Venango Chamber of Commerce. The cost is $21.20 and all proceeds benefit the society’s pending projects as well as supports the museum, library and chamber.
A 15-page statistical overview of Oil City in 1968 is included in the DVD package.
