The International Cockshutt Collectors held their U.S. national summer show at the Annual TRACTORCADE SHOW located at the American Farm Heritage Museum in Greenville, IL. On display was a wide variety of Cockshutt/Co-op tractors and equipment.

     This 3-day event was well attended and provided plenty of variety for the whole family to enjoy. Demonstrations held at various times each day included an operating saw mill, steam engines, a baker fan and plowing tractors. On display for visitors to enjoy were classic cars, antique fire engines, new equipment and a variety of antique farm implements and machinery. Activities for the kids included a petting zoo, train rides, kids’ pedal tractor pull and a tractor parade. There was also a flea market area on site.

     The next scheduled event at the museum is The Outhouse and Fall Festival on October 11, 2008. Visit their website at www.americanfarmheritagemuseum.org for details. Greenville is a pleasant 45 minute drive from the St. Louis area and the American Farm Heritage Museum is well worth the trip.
