The Texas Bucket List – Spindletop-Gladys City Boomtown

We visit the Spindletop-Gladys Boomtown Museum in Beaumont to travel back in time to the place where the oil boom got its start. While you can’t see any black gold gush from the ground like in the olden days, the Lucas Gusher replica still gives you that feeling of excitement and wonder as it blows water hundreds of feet into the air. For a glimpse of the gusher that kicked off the worldwide oil craze, this place is well worth a stop on The Texas Bucket List!
