Tractor Museum

[WVH1977]

Here in central Virginia, in Colonial Heights, there is a building with lots of tractors and trucks form the old days. Thought I would share some pics:

I really like the white one. Make it my daily driver. No road plates, no emission testing, no registration. LOL It's a classic! Just need to be creative for a nice retro cab to match the design cues.

Thanks for sharing. These places are always worth the visit.

A guy at a local used car lot has one of those Lamborghini tractors.... I found it odd.

Directions

Growing up in the 60's, near this place, we called it "The Old Solders Farm." It was the last of the "Alm's Homes" that I know of in the area before it was converted in to a farm museum. We would ride our bikes there when it was still an Alm's Home.
This is a cool event if you can get to it. Every kind of old farm thingy is on display and they run the very old, steam tractors.

For all the John Deere fans, I believe it was circa 1907:

And also for all the firefighters on here. These trucks were amazing. So much detail and beauty:

Darn, last name is close to that and fore fathers came from Germany in mid 1800's. Thought maybe they built something we didn't know about. Jon

Those Lanz Bulldog tractors also have a interesting starting procedure:
