The traction steam engine lines the grounds during the Old Threshers Reunion. There is over 90 working steam engines fired up and showing off there strength. The engines are also working for special events like our School Tours program in the spring, Boy Scout Camporee and many other events. We feature around 50 steam engines on display in the Heritage Museum year round for the visitors. If you are lucky, you may get a ride on one the many steam engines during the Reunion.
During the Old Threshers Reunion you can find Traction Steam Engines working at the saw mill, threshing demonstrations, shingle mill, steam engine pulls, veneer mill, prony brake, baker fans and the great steam engine games.
