Synopsis
Mosquitoes and swampland, perfect habitat for wildfowl; but something else was hiding deep within the seeps - a rich, black treasure that would intrigue the early settlers of Sarnia-Lambton and set the stage for the development of the oil industry in North America and subsequently the world. We invite you to explore this fascinating history and experience for yourself the 'Canadian Oil Rush.'

This project was produced in cooperation with the Living History Multimedia Association, with funding from the Ontario Trillium Foundation, the County of Lambton and many others. It is part of the Ontario Visual Heritage Project.
