The Pioneer Engineers Club of Rushville, Indiana
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 50 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 during the first full Friday, Saturday, and Sunday in 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!
