Billings Farm & Museum's
9th Annual Antique Tractor Day
Remodeling the Billings dairy barn in 1948. The tractor shown here is a Farmall M, one of the best known International tractors. Nearly 280,000 of this particular model were produced between 1939 and 1952. In 1940, the Farmall M cost $1,112. Photo courtesy of the Harold Corkum family.
Billings Farm & Museum, gateway to Vermont's rural heritage, will host its 9th Annual Antique Tractor Day on Sunday, August 9 from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. featuring dozens of tractors, both restored and unrestored, dating from the 1930s to the 1960s. A narrated tractor parade is set for 1:00 p.m. -- a rare opportunity to see the machines operating, with interesting and historical background details on each tractor. Tractor-drawn wagon rides will be offered; also rope making demonstrations, make-it-take-it wooden tractors for children, a sandbox with toy tractors from the farm or bring your own, ice cream making, and more will fill the day. Lunch and snacks will be provided by the Teago Volunteer Fire Department food tent - all proceeds benefit the department.
Admission to Antique Tractor Day includes all programs and activities plus an added bonus, the 23rd Annual Quilt Exhibition.
