Every year, the F.A.R.M. CLUB (Farming & Antique Related Machinery) of Southeastern Indiana organizes various events that transport you back in time, allowing you to experience and appreciate historic equipment and artifacts. The highlight of the year is our annual F.A.R.M. Club Show, which takes place each June at the Ripley County Fairgrounds Park in Osgood, Indiana.
With nearly 300 members, the F.A.R.M. Club meets monthly to plan different activities, including Ag Day for third graders in multiple counties, swap meets, and our annual show featuring vintage tractors and farm equipment.
Our mission is to collect, display, restore, and preserve farming and antique machinery to maintain its historical significance. We aim to safeguard the heritage of farming and its equipment, along with the skills and knowledge associated with their operation, ensuring that this history is preserved for future generations.
