Description: Step back in time to see how it was done! Tractors, farm equipment, old time engines and much more!
Hosted by Branch 22 of the Early Day Gas Engine & Tractor Association, Inc., this organization’s mission is to restore, preserve, and exhibit gasoline and oil engines, gas/diesel and steam tractors, power driven farm machinery and any other equipment of historical value. The members will be exhibiting their collection of antique tractors, pumps, washing machines, irons, tools, stationary engines, sewing machines and other types of household and farming equipment.
There will be live demonstrations of traditional skills such as blacksmithing and quilt-making. This is a unique opportunity to experience a piece of history. Live entertainment from 12:00-3:00pm, and BBQ lunch from 11:00am-3:00pm.
Our pumpkin patch will be open - great for photo ops and exploring!
Antique tractor parades at 11:00am and 2:00pm BOTH days!
Free admission. Parking is $10 per vehicle during last weekend in September.
