Spring Steam and Gas Engine Show
There are four photographs on this page so it may take a minute for the page to load.
A group of collectors gathers at the museum to show off their
preserved engines. Many engines are left running throughout the
day. The uneven sound they make while running is fascinating
to young and old alike.
This is a beautifully restored engine which the owner was glad to fire up. Notice the fine woodwork supporting the engine.
A group of on-lookers watch the Farm Museum's hit-and-miss engine. The fly wheel is blurry in this picture as it spins. The engine is connected to a nearby machine with a belt where corn meal is ground. The person wearing a red shirt is farm museum employee "Jimbo" who is keeping a watchful eye on the artifact. A common delight is to see how high a coffee can placed on the exhaust will shoot into the air when the engine first fires.
Steam Engine and Saw Mill Operations
During the show, the museum displays their wonderful collection of vintage tractors.
