Monument marks Seneca oil spring and Drake legacy
A crowd of over 4,000 gathered near Cuba New York to unveil a bronze tablet at the Seneca oil spring. The marker honors the spring’s long history from 1027 through the 1927 tercentenary, outlining oil’s rise in America and Drake’s 1859 pioneering well at Titusville, which sparked the petroleum era and vast industrial growth.
