"Teach your children the joy of restoring, preserving and playing with antique tractors and they will never have enough money left to get into drugs!"
TheMassanutten Antique Tractor & Gasoline Engine Club, Inc. was established by a few local residents back in 1989. Their idea at that time, was to preserve antique tractors, gasoline engines, farm implements, and equipment. Over the years, the club grew from a few members to a membership that at one time was over one hundred and fifty members. While our activities too had increased over the years, our main focus was and still is on the preservation of the tractors, engines, and equipment that helped to put food on the tables in "a simpler time, not so long ago". To that end, for twenty-nine years, we held an annual show where members and non-members were encouraged to bring their tractors, engines, implements, and equipment and to demonstrate how some of these things were used "back in the day". Also, over the years, our club had become more community-minded by supporting and donating considerable money to many local charities. As our membership grew older and as several of our members passed away, it was obvious that we could not continue to put on our annual tractor shows and at about that time Mr. Tom Eshelman, the manager of the Shenandoah County Fairgrounds, came up with the idea of our club putting up an agricultural museum building on the fairground property. After thorough discussion, we decided to accept that invitation, (and challenge). It was a long time in coming but after over three years, we have finally completed the building and at this point in time, we are in the process of acquiring items for the museum that would have been used here in Shenandoah County, including a In God We Trust e year, all during Fair Week and on the day of the Octoberfest Event. Admission is free. We always welcome new members, those who share
