Pioneer farming equipment and techinques will be demonstrated during Heritage Acres’ annual show on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, July 21-23.
Heritage Acres has three days of activity lined up for its annual show July 21-23.
During its annual show this year, Heritage Acres is saluting the 100th year of the John Deere Model D tractor.
The weekend includes a tractor pull, field demonstrations, prime rib dinner, pancake breakfast, museum exhibits and much more.
Heritage Acres got its start more than 30 years ago when local residents set out to protect old farm and ranch equipment at risk of being lost due to flooding resulting from the construction of the Oldman Dam.
Their efforts led to the formation of the museum dedicated to preserving, displaying and demonstrating the pioneer lifestyle.
Volunteers created the Oldman River Antique Equipment and Threshing Club to gather and collect equipment and buildings, which were restored, displayed and demonstrated.
Gates open at 9 a.m. Friday, July 21 for access to museum exhibits.
