Fall Steam Festival
Trains, Tractors & Traditions!
September 25-26, 2026
9:30 am – 4 pm
Free Admission!*
ABOUT THE EVENT
The Age of Steam Roundhouse Museum’s Fall Steam Festival: Trains, Tractors & Traditions, is an event to relive some of the most fondly remembered aspects of historic Americana: steam machines, base ball, and hot dogs. With the help of the Iron Horses of the Erie Railroad vintage base ball club, guests to this event can watch base ball played as it was in the old days, in empty fields, with little more equipment than what you and your friends could sling over your shoulders. There will be a food vendor present to sell hot dogs and other fare to guests while they enjoy the ball games.
Apart from base ball, various steam tractor operators will be present to showcase their machines, including a shingle mill and other belt-driven implements. This year, we will have a tinsmith on site from Historic Zoar Village, crafting various objects. All of this will be framed with the museum’s own steam locomotive, which will give rides on the museum grounds to guests throughout the event. This special event will prove to be a fun and exciting experience for those who want to get a taste of the classic, Norman Rockwell era of American leisure and life.

Crowe, Ricky Skaggs, Keith Whitley, Jim McReynolds, and Jesse McReynolds, just to name a few. He comes by both of his passions honestly, one through the family history of law enforcement, the other being the son of a bona fide bluegrass legend, Dave Evans. . Opening Band – Cabin Fever
