Rock River Thresheree - 36th Annual Reunion (1992)




In 1992, our Allis-Chalmers Corliss engine and Cummer steam engine was brought back from Tigerton Lumber Co. in Tigerton, WI. The crew of our Glenn Beedy Museum of Agriculture and Industry worked on getting the building and foundations ready for the engines. Meanwhile, the crew for the Worthington engine worked to get it ready for its move from Platteville, WI, to our grounds.

Kay Amacher was our Reunion Queen.
