A Field Day of the Past
An annual show devoted to the preservation and presentation of
historical equipment, lifestyles, and customs.
Field Day of the Past Showgrounds are on State Route 623 half way between Broad Street (Rt. 250) and I-64 (Exit #173 off I-64, 14 miles west of Richmond, Virginia). If you would like information about membership, work committees, etc., call the Field Day phone-line at (804) 741-8468. We meet the 2nd Wednesday of each month at 7pm in the Short Pump Garage building on the show grounds.

Field Day was given this 150HP Corliss steam engine by Jones Lumber Co. of Montpelier. The only problem, moving it to the Field Day location.
First, a hole had to be cut in the roof so the 12' diameter flywheel could be removed.
With our Steam Team of about 20 people guiding the wheel, it was lifted out and over to the waiting lowboy.
One of many volunteers. Would you like to join in and help in 2002?
Please see above or e-mail me, Gary at cowardin@juno.com, for more information.
