Supporting Donors
Founded in 1987, the organization was chartered to preserve and restore the unique derrick skyline of boomtown Kilgore. The mission is to also preserve its historic and important buildings and landmarks, and to document Kilgore’s history in print and accessible archive collections.
Their memories, their stories, and their voices live on in the annals of Boomtown.
Annual donations make it possible for KHPF to maintain and improve the following:
- Derrick Stars
- World’s Richest Acre Park
- WRA Bricks and Pavers
- Derrick Skyline with 54 derricks
- Derrick Stars, Merry Xmas/Happy New Year atop the derricks
- Oilfield equipment at Christmas Tree Park and under derricks
- Historic photos archives collection
- Publications of photo histories of Kilgore
- Dean-Keener-Crim Historic Home
Derrick lights are turned on for special events such as KHS Class Reunions, East Texas Oilman’s Chili Cookoff, Rangerette Revels, Octoberfest and East Texas Pipe Organ Festival.
