Visitors can see dozens of classic tractors, pickup trucks, delivery vehicles, and modern construction and commercial vehicles, including a rare 1940 Ford Armored Car from Northwest Savings Bank. Visitors can ride three different trolleys (running every 15 minutes) and tour the Trib Total Media Trolley Display Building, which houses nearly three dozen streetcars, and the Restoration Shop.

This is the fourth year that the museum has teamed with the Washington & Greene County Antique Tractor Association for Trucks, Tractors & Trolleys. There will also be a World War II encampment with uniformed interpreters and informational exhibits and numerous artifacts.
