The Sycamore Steam Show & Threshing Bee is a four-day event that showcases products like steam engines and gas tractors.

Preserving agricultural history for future generations to enjoy, the Sycamore Steam Show & Threshing Bee is a four-day event that showcases products like steam engines and gas tractors.

A masterpiece of raw power, a supreme creation of the mechanical age, and the greatest marvel since the wheel itself, The Steam Engine! Come see threshing using steam engines and gas tractors, a sawmill in operation sawing logs into lumber using steam power, and a shingle mill. The Steam Show & Threshing Bee also features barrel train rides for kids of all ages, a mule team and wagon giving rides around the showgrounds, and much more!
