THE JACKSON COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY HAS A NEW LARGE BUILDING
FOR OLD HISTORIC FARM TRACTORS AND OTHER FARM EQUIPMENT.   IT IS
LOCATED BEHIND, TO THE NORTH OF,  THE CLINTON ENGINES MUSEUM.
IT WILL NOT REPLACE THE OTHER BUILDING ON THE FAIRGROUNDS.
THAT BUILDING WAS FULL (OVER FULL) AND NOW THE EQUIPMENT WILL BE BETTER DISPLAYED IN TWO BUILDINGS.    TODAY, SCOTT GENT AND PAUL MILLER STARTED MOVING TRACTORS FROM THE FAIRGROUNDS BUILDING TO THE NEW BUILDING.
