Tractor Building
The Antique Tractor Building at Farmtown Park houses over 50 tractors, and takes the visitor through the evolution of the farm tractor. It is very impressive display, put together by the over 60 folks who are active members of the Tractor Club. The mission of Tractor Club is to preserve classic tractors and agricultural machinery
The Tractor Club raises money for the Hastings County Museum of Agricultural Heritage and other charities by raffling an antique tractor each year. In 2008 the village of Stirling and the Stirling Agricultural Society celebrated the 150th anniversaries and the Hastings County Farm Show and Plowing Match was in Stirling. There was a tractor parade, which established the first world record for the Guinness Book of Records with 601 tractors.
The Tractor Club meets on the third Wednesday of each month at 7 p.m. at the museum. Contact Secretary Steven French (613) 394-9991
