Are you
interested in collecting and restoring old farm equipment like steam engines,
tractors, or hit & miss gas engines? If so, the Pioneer Engineers Club
is comprised of people like yourself who enjoy bringing their families and
their machines to our show and other festivals like ours around the nation to
celebrate and appreciate bygone days on the farm.
The Pioneer
Engineers Club is a family-oriented, non-profit organization based in Rushville,
Indiana, that has been in existence for over 60 years. Our goal is to
build on the skills and talents of our members so that we can educate and
entertain the general public as we preserve the heritage of rural life.
Every year in early August, we hold a reunion
for all of those interested in celebrating our rural past. We usually have
over 30 steam engines, 300 tractors, and 100 gas engines at our show in a given
year. You will also see an assortment of old trucks, cars, and other tools
and implements. There are over 200 flea market vendors, as well as food
vendors and various craftsmen. We are one of the oldest clubs of our kind
in the nation!
