Activities at the new Gaston Museum
On October 3, 1930 the Daisy Bradford #3 became the discovery well for the East Texas Oil Field. This well is located in Joinerville at the southern tip of the 42 mile long field. It is therefore only proper that the kick-off events of the Jubilee Celebration take place in Joinerville in Rusk County .
