The discovery of oil on the west side of Kern County in the late 1800s brought an influx of people to the area and created oil boom towns such as Fellows, Reward, and Taft.

In 1910, L. R. Buchanan built the Hotel Fellows for Martha Derminghem Buress in the once thriving town of Fellows. Martha, an immigrant from France, provided room and board for oil field workers and their families. Martha married Joe Randall in 1913. An industrious businesswoman, she was affectionately known as "Ma" Randall by hotel patrons.

The Santa Fe Energy Company donated the Hotel Fellows to the museum in 1989. The hotel was moved in one piece approximately 40 miles from Midway Road in downtown Fellows to the museum.
