Tickets are still available for purchase for the second annual Oil Boom Historic Dinner, presented by Friends of Drake Well, Inc., which is planned for Saturday, Nov. 4, at Drake Well Museum.
The dinner will feature dishes that were popular during the oil boom era of Titusville.
Cocktail hour will begin at 5:30 p.m.
Welcoming remarks and dinner will follow at 6:30 p.m.
Tickets cost $75 per person.
Proceeds directly benefit Friends of Drake Well in its mission to support Drake Well Museum and Park.
The evening’s menu consists of selections taken from Titusville Eats, a collection of recipes compiled by author William B. Moore.
The Oil Boom Historic Dinner will be held in memory of longtime Drake Well Museum volunteer and researcher, David L. Weber, who passed away in 2019.
Friends of Drake Well used proceeds from the 2022 dinner to establish a research fellowship at Drake Well named in honor of Weber which will be made available to graduate students and academic researchers within the coming year.
