The Venango Museum of Art, Science and Industry, located in Oil City, Pa., is a private, non-profit general museum that offers a combination of permanent and changing exhibits. Annual offerings include musical and performance programs, summer children's programs, regional art shows, tours to historic sites, lectures, a changing annual "hands on" science exhibit for children, and an annual river expedition aboard a working replica of a 19th century packet boat, the "Pine Knot."

This year, the "Pine Knot" will be making its cruise between April 13 and 29 bringing a volunteer cast and crew to thirteen communities along the waterway. We hope you'll explore the information available about the "Pine Knot" and visit her when she reaches your community during her 1996 expedition. And don't forget to join us for "Oil On the Brain," a theatrical performance that highlights the historical development of Pennsylvania's Oil Region from the first discovery of oil by Seneca Indians to the "Boom and Bust" period to the present and future aspirations of the area.
