Digboi Centenary Museum was set up in 2001 to commemorate 100 years of Digboi refinery. Located adjacent to the Digboi oil-field and built around the famous Oil Discovery Well No 1, Digboi Centenary Museum has become a popular landmark among visitors. The daily footfall to the museum has grown over the years.
The colloquial call of the early oil-drillers “Dig – Boy – Dig” still echoes within the tiny birth-place of India’s Oil Industry.
Efforts of team AOD Digboi for this innovative step to enhance the beauty and glory of oiltown Digboi have been lauded.
