Forty for Forty!

In 1975, oil was approximately $7.75 per barrel, the average cost of a gallon of gas was 44 cents, bell bottoms and platform shoes were all the rage, disco music was beginning to rock the night away and President Gerald Ford was in Midland to celebrate the grand opening of a new museum.

On September 13, 2015 the Permian Basin Petroleum Museum officially celebrates her 40th Birthday! The Petroleum Museum has been educating, inspiring, and entertaining visitors from around the world for forty years. You can help us commemorate this momentous occasion by contributing at least $40 to honor her 40th year.
