We were in town from Buffalo NY and decided to try this warehouse for finds.....OMG I can't say enough about the huge warehouse, the prices are so reasonable and the place is huge , we found a few cute small finds and fell in love with several furniture groupings and we will for sure get a Uhaul truck and go back to pick up the new furniture we liked for our home. Even the 3 hour drive and gas plus furniture prices is more reasonable then some sets right in my own town, plus this place had a lot of different things in it, gorgeous repurposed things, very comfy living room sets and gorgeous wood kitchen sets, pillows, candles small pictures to decorate a home etc etc etc. The employees were also very knowledgeable about their inventory and they even said they would make us a deal, so they may be willing to negotiate with you. A must go check out if you are ever in the area, you won't regret it.

We came here out of curiosity about the oil history of the area and sure learned plenty. The park is beautiful with well maintained natural areas and excellent information on exhibits posted around Petroleum Center. The info panels along the trail aren't fancy but their content is interesting as heck. Well done!
