Olinda Field House Celebrated 100 Years
A centennial celebration was held on October 6, 2012 at the Olinda Oil Museum and Trail to mark the 100 year anniversary of the Field House. Once the office and headquarters of the bustling Olinda oil operation, the Field House is now filled with artifacts, along with the original safe and warehouse where parts were once stored and organized. The Field House is the centerpiece of the 12-acre Olinda Oil Museum & Trail, a historic park that recapture the sights, sounds, smells and the vital role Olinda played in the development of Brea. Watch a video highlighting the celebration.
