The Barn
This metal on wood structure houses a fine collection of early steam, kerosene, and gasoline engines and equipment spanning the period from the late 19th Century to the mid 20th Century. An industrial boiler, farm tractors, saws, threshing and haying equipment, mills and a steam traction engine are some of the pieces restored, maintained and operated on event days by the Gas & Steam Club volunteers. For details on steam and gas interpretation at events, please ask the cashier, or pick up an event flyer in the Redman House Program Centre.
The Woodwrights' Guild
have added a 25' x 25' wood working shop to the rear of the Gas & Steam Barn building to provide a safe and effective space for the volunteer wood workers at the museum.
