Rock River Thresheree - 45th Annual Reunion (2001)




In 2001, several Fairbanks Morse diesel engines were brought to our grounds (a 3-cylinder from the City of Monroe, WI; a 5-cylinder from Houston, TX; and a 6-cylinder from LaCrosse, WI). A second Henschel locomotive (affectionately called "Spike") was purchased from Alban Bates. The Town of Fulton donated the Fulton Town Hall (which is now home to our Archives).

Case was our featured tractor; Lauson was our featured engine. Glenda Beggs was our Reunion Queen. Our 2001 Souvenir Album was dedicated to Harold Mauerman and Duane Richards.
