Our next show is our Drake Well Gas Up coming up September 12th.

It's a busy month here at Drake Well Museum with great events like our FALL GAS UP, entering its 42nd year!! The event will be held on Saturday, September 12th, from 9 AM to 3 PM. It is one of our favorites - a nice early fall day spent amongst our outdoor exhibits, surrounded by engines, tractors, and other fun antique oilfield equipment! Who could ask for more?

If you haven't been to one of our Fall Gas Up events, you totally should. Regular admission fees apply and include access to the event and our indoor exhibits! If you are bringing your own engines/equipment to exhibit at the event, then your admission is FREE!
