Grand reopening of our museum
Step back in time and see antique tractors, cars, and engines displayed on the
museum grounds. Local and area collectors love to show their "toys" and share
their knowledge. You will marvel at the detail work that has gone into the
restoration of these pieces. The program is free. Activities start at 9AM and continue until 4PM. It's an event that children are sure to enjoy. They
can sit on the tractors and get a free wagon ride, too. This year we celebrate the grand reopening of the museum! The
ceremony starts at 1 PM.
The entire day is free and will be fun for the whole family. Lunch and
refreshments will be available, too.
For questions or further information, please call 978-939-5656.
