ABOUT THE ASSOCIATION Founded in 1976, the U.P. Steam and Gas Engine Association is as a Non-Profit Corporation dedicated to the preservation, restoration and exhibition of early steam engines, gasoline engines, tractors, farm machinery and other items of historical value. It is our ongoing resolve to preserve this equipment for present and future generations to enjoy. Our first show was held on September 18 and 19, 1976. From that humble beginning, our annual Labor Day Weekend show has grown into one of the biggest and best events in the region.
ABOUT ANTIQUE VILLAGE Evoking the feel of a by-gone era, Antique Village offers visitors an interactive learning experience. Local artisans provide demonstrations of traditional handicrafts while a variety of working displays offer insight into the businesses and services that would have been found in a bustling town circa 1900.

About Hart-Parr The Hart-Parr Company was the first American manufacturer to successfully market gasoline tractors. Organized in 1897, by Charles W. Hart and Charles H. Parr, the company initially built stationary gasoline engines. By 1901, Hart-Parr had outgrown its Madison, Wisconsin factory. The operation was moved to Charles City, Iowa, where additional capital was raised and a larger factory was built. In 1903, Hart-Parr introduced their first tractor, the Model 17-30. As the industry pioneer, Hart-Parr led the competition in sales from 1903 to 1911. By 1929, the age of the full-line farm equipment manufacturer had arrived. International Harvest dominated the Market. HartParr could no longer continue as an independent company solely building tractors. On April 1, 1929, Hart-Parr merged with Oliver Chilled Plow Company, Nichols & Shepard Company, and American Seeding Machine Company to form Oliver Farm Equipment Corporation. After the merger, tractors were still built at Charles City and, as a testament to Hart-Parr's reputation, carried the name Oliver HartParr well into the next decade.
About Minneapolis-Moline In 1929, three great American tractor companies--Minneapolis Steel & Machinery, Minneapolis Threshing Machine and Moline Plow--joined to form Minneapolis-Moline. The company soon became renowned for its high-quality designs, the ultimate being a tractor built with a full cab, radio and heater.
