Kilgore's unique skyline, filled with oil derricks, is back. KHPF has saved, raised
money. moved and erected 37 derricks, many in downtown. While other cities are
hiding their industrial heritage, Kilgore celebrates! In recognition of this unusual
endeavor, KHPF won the coveted Anice Read Award from the Texas Historical
Commission in 1989. Kilgore's derrick restoration was deemed the state's most
unique preservation project for the year.
