Ida Tarbell was one of the most famous investigative journalists in American history. She was raised in Titusville during the oil boom. Her father, Franklin Tarbell, was an oil producer and investor.
In 1872, she witnessed the destruction of her father's work when John D. Rockefeller forced small producers out of business during the "Cleveland Massacre."
Ida Tarbell graduated from Allegheny College in 1880 and in 1904, successfully exposed Standard Oil's conspiracy against small businesses and illegal monopoly through her work, The History of the Standard Oil Company. She is credited with influencing the breakup of Standard Oil in
1911.
Her childhood home at 324 East Main Street is maintained as an historic site.
