H.P. Sears Oil Co. Service Station Museum

H.P. Sears Oil Co. Service Station Museum takes visitors back to the early days of automobile travel. It is a museum in Rome, Oneida County, devoted to the old-time service station and the era of motoring it served, a reminder of how much road travel has changed.

Stops for gas and oil used to be a neighborhood event, and the museum brings that era back to life. Rome is also home to Fort Stanwix National Monument, so the museum makes an easy add-on to a day of history in the city.
