45th Annual Mill Road Thresherman

The Mill Road Thresherman Association is a group of men and women whose goal is to preserve and demonstrate farming as our grand-fathers and great- grandfathers knew it. We strive to preserve not only the equipment, but also the techniques those old farmers utilized to plant, harvest, and process their crops.

The annual Mill Road Thresherman’s show is a place where families can come to enjoy the sights and sounds of farming’s past. Not only the thumps and grinds of old equipment but also the clank of a horse harness, the whish of a spinning wheel, or the sounds of bluegrass filtering over the grounds.

Best of all is the laughter of children, as they hunt through the straw stack treasure hunt, participate in the pedal pull, or walk the grounds with grandpa checking off items for the scavenger hunt.
