One of many

demonstrations of farming

implements from by-gone days.

from Rough and Tumble’s present

location. The attendees had such

a good time that they founded

the museum to perpetuate the

reunion as an annual event

and, not incidentally, to collect,

restore, and exhibit the artifacts

of by-gone

days.

The Threshermen’s Reunion,

which takes place each August,

and its smaller sister event,

the Spring Steam-Up, which

occurs in May, are opportunities

to see the machines at Rough

and Tumble running; enjoy

music; watch demonstrations

of threshing, milling, plowing,

and smithing; ride the railroads;

and cheer for tractor games and

tractor pulls. They are a chance

to smell the steam, feel the soot,

hear the engines, and see the

work in progress—to experience

America’s past in a unique and

satisfying way.
