The tractor fair occurs on a Friday, Saturday and Sunday in mid-September. People come from as far as Mississippi, bringing antique farm equipment to display. On the grounds they have permanent displays such as the museum, a blacksmith shop, a mill, a church, and a post office that is official for 1 1/2 days each year. There's also a modern meeting hall, with a kitchen. Like the church, the meeting hall can be rented for events. Back to the tractor fair: Along with static displays, both permanent and those brought in for the fair, there are active demonstrations such as a sawmill, a hay baler, a rock crusher, one of the big steam engines, and an ice cream maker (samples available for a donation). Activities range from hands-on such as pumping water using old water pumps, hand-powered 'cordless' drills, and shelling and grinding corn, to the tractor pull and tractor rodeo. There are also vendors on that weekend, selling anything from food to antiques and in-between. This is a great opportunity to see history in action and a great deal of fun. It's a great family activity (one family has a reunion here each year, camping on the grounds with the members and vendors).
