Archbold, Ohio — Sauder Village is excited to announce the return of Tractors, Tractors, Tractors on Saturday, June 22. This unique event will showcase over 20 antique tractors, most predating 1950, offering a fascinating glimpse into the evolution of agricultural technology in our region.
The tractors will adorn the Village Green starting at 10 a.m., where guests will have the opportunity to speak with the owners about classic tractors ranging from John Deere to Farmall and everything in between. The highlight of the day will be a tractor parade around Sauder Village campus at 4:30 p.m.
“Our Tractors event is great for folks of all ages, from kids who are always awestruck by tractors, to adults who — particularly in northwest Ohio — probably work with these tractors or are familiar with them,” said Matthew Walls, Education Manager.
“Because technology has advanced, it always helps to look back at where the technology came from, and these antique tractors are the predecessors of what you see when you drive down Ohio roads today. It makes you appreciate the technology we have today by looking at the technology from the past.”
Sheri Friesner, Director of Museum Operations, added, “This event gives the community a place to come and share their passion and love for farming and antique tractors. You’re going to see a lot of grandchildren with their grandparents on these tractors hanging out; It’s a family activity.”
Tractors, Tractors, Tractors reaches across generations, making it a perfect outing where children, parents and grandparents can all find something to learn and enjoy.
The event will take place during regular hours at Sauder Village. The Barn Restaurant, Doughbox Bakery and 1920s Soda Fountain will be open during their respective hours for anyone looking to grab a bite. Or make a weekend of it and book a stay at the Village Campground or Heritage Inn.
Join us at Sauder Village for a day filled with history, education and community. Don’t miss your chance to see these extraordinary machines up close and learn about the rich agricultural heritage of northwest Ohio.
