Petrolianas and history buffs alike will be thrilled to visit The Dawes Arboretum this year for its 2026 History Center exhibit: Fueling a Legacy: The Pure Oil Company and Beman Dawes.

It focuses on the history of The Pure Oil Company, its local impact and how Beman’s funds from The Pure Oil Company were used to create and sustain The Dawes Arboretum, a now nearly 2,000-acre property.
