Perrysville, IN 47974
The Wabash Valley Steam and Gas Club has just been newly formed.
It has been a dream come true for many of the area residents of
Perrysville, Indiana.
The highlight of the Club will be the display at the Skinner
Farm Museum Gas and Steam Show. The variety of the antiques
visiting the Little House on the Prairie, a collection of log
cabins all original, or stand in awe of the mammoth steam threshing
engines while smelling their coal smoke and hot cylinder oil. Or
others’ interest may be sparked by a roar of a tractor or the
popping of the gas engines in the distance a 1913 Huber sawmill can
be heard sawing up an Indiana Oak log.
Not only will adults be amazed by the intellect of our
forefathers ingenuity, but the youngsters will stand in fascination
as the blacksmith pounds out an object from nothing or the
broom-maker whips together a broom.
Moms will be intrigued as well with the weaving loom, old time
utensils and a variety of tools used during these times.
The members excitedly anticipate their community efforts to make
their Club a workable society to preserve the memories of our
past.
