Steam-Era is the annual show produced by the "Ontario Steam & Antique Preservers Association" held at the Milton fairgrounds in Milton, Ontario every Labour Day weekend. Their members are devoted to the preservation and restoration of heritage equipment and bring their pain stakenly restored machinery to display and operate at Steam Era.
.
Steam engines from the turn of the century silently puff there way around the grounds. 100's of tractors and stationary engines along with antique cars, models and agricultural displays recreate life in the rural country a 100 years ago.
.
We in the TRHA will be bringing our portable 7 1/4" miniature railway track ( as seen in the right-hand picture above) and will operate miniature trains in conjunction with other local miniature railway clubs.
.
This is a show not to be missed as you seldom see from one to two dozen massive steam tractors today at a single event. The show runs from Friday, August 31st to Monday September 3rd, 2007
