X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>Before the arrival of the railroads\, loca
 l growth and development in Lambton County was at a standstill\; the marsh
 y land was not attractive to new settlers. This all changed in 1859 with t
 he arrival of the Grand Trunk Railroad and the first commercial oil well\,
  dug by James Miller Williams\, that started production in Oil Springs\, O
 ntario. The Black Gold Rush started attracting men from all over to seek t
 heir fortunes in the booming oil industry. The problems arose from lack of
  infrastructure on how to get this valuable product out of the swamps of L
 ambton. In this talk\, we will look at how the oil industry and railroads 
 are intrinsically linked in Lambton County\, spurring development from the
  building of the private Petrolia Spur line to the St Clair Tunnel to the 
 USA.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>Register&nbsp\;to reserve your spot.</p>\n<p></p>\nhtt
