The under mounts, return-flue and upright boilers steam engines, along with hundreds of gas tractors are rolling into Caldwell Pioneer Acres for our reunion running August 6-9. This is an opportunity to see two Aultmann Double Star engines in the same place and lots of other unique equipment.

We’ve had a lot of questions about our hours. Gates open each morning at 7 am. Opening ceremonies are at 9 am. We have lots of activities throughout the day to keep you busy. On Friday and Saturday evening, we have a band scheduled as well as our spark show. On Sunday, we will have a parade at 2 pm.

Each day is an adventure and full of fun. Come spend a day or four with us!

We would like to thank the Jerred D. Ruble Family Charitable Foundation for the donation for our new Feature Building. The building will be used during the show for feature exhibits and feature club displays. This would not have been possible without the Jerred D. Ruble Family Charitable Foundation and their generous donation.

The show is coming soon and we look forward to seeing everyone at the reunion.

2026 Feature:
Steam - Return Flue, Vertical, and Undermount Engines
