Discovery 1 Park
"Where Oklahoma Oil Began!"
Discovery 1 Park is a lively presentation of Oklahoma's rich petroleum heritage, designed to appeal to all ages. Close to downtown Bartlesville, the Park is located at the site of the Nellie Johnstone No. 1, the state's first commercial oil well discovered in 1897. Construction of an operating replica of the Nellie Johnstone - complete with gusher - was finished in 2008.
