Held every August at the Ashtabula County Antique Engine grounds, the venue features a vintage array of buildings from the beginnings of mechanized agriculture along with the hardware that pioneered. it's like being swept up by a tornado and landing in 1930.

3. Why thank you CaliforniaPeggy

For some reason my camera always ends up where there's smoke and noise. Whether the pics turn out well or not, there's always something unusual.

9. This is where my entry "Uncle Jim's Prize Hog" was found.

A lot of unusual machines and people there.



Henry Ford built more than 8 million Model Ts over 30 years. When they became obsolete, many farmers converted their cars into tractors called "doodlebugs".
