When Frank Phillips established Phillips Petroleum in Bartlesville in 1917 the price of oil had just jumped from 40-cents to a dollar a barrel. A far cry from today's price of eighty dollars a barrel for west Texas intermediate crude, but it was enough to make Phillips a multi-millionaire.

Today it stands just as it was nearly a century ago and visitors are invited to hear the stories of a man who helped build Oklahoma.
