This event is to unite everyone who is interested in antique engines, tractors, implements, and machinery as well as anything associated with life in Tioga County during the late 1800’s and early 1900’s.

If you have your own antique machinery, engines, tractors, trucks, cars, farm toys, or tools of the trade they’d love to see you there!

Here are just a few of the exhibits and activities already at the event: Macintosh apple cider tasting and pressing demonstration with Mark Empson and his 1915 throttle governed International Harvester mogul engine. Cake-walk, kettle bean soup, and chicken barbeque are just some of the goodies to eat. Don’t miss the kiddy tractor pull, antique tractor pull, or the 1889 sawmill demonstration. Click here for the times on Saturday.

You’ll also see corn harvesting and threshing demonstrations and the N.Y. Light Artillery exhibition. Saturday night the McNett Country Band will be playing. So come on out and have some fun dancing with family and friends.

Inside the Grange Building is Dale Palmer’s antique hammer collection. Showcasing hammer’s and sledges and all sort’s of forged iron hand tools. Including this lovely one that surely is worth its weight in gold! Have one of your own? Bring it on up and find out about its place in history.

Of course, there are dozen’s of tractors on display. Kids will sure have a good time watching the tractor pull on both days. If you just want to visit and learn all you can about how things were done 90 years ago, just ask for Everett Vanderhoof, one of the oldest farmer’s in Tioga County still working to this day! He was born way back in the 1920’s when tractors with rubber tires were still just a novelty. He’s seen here in this photograph telling some folks about some of the tractors on display.

Enjoy, Enjoy, have a great day!
