2027 Spring Steam Up Schedule
Friday and Saturday May 7-8, 2027
Come and join in the fun of the opening of our show season! The highlight, always a crowd pleaser, is plowing with both steam traction engines and tractors (plowing to be held if weather is favorable). The flyer is available here.
On display and in operation will be steam and gas engines, tractors, antique cars, model shop, and the new line shaft machine shop. The Sawmill, Shay Railroad & Little Toot, and antique construction and earth moving areas will be also operating both days with other equipment around the grounds. Plowing will be on the Groff farm field west of R&T.
