Digboi Oil Refinery & Museum
About this activity
Digboi is the birthplace of the oil industry in India. The Digboi refinery, established in 1901, is Asia's oldest operating refinery.
The Digboi Centenary Museum is a fascinating place to learn about the history of oil exploration. It has vintage machinery, photographs, and models on display. You can see the original Well No. 1, where oil was first struck.
The town itself has a distinct British colonial feel with bungalows and golf courses. The War Cemetery nearby is a sobering reminder of WWII.
