Due to the passing of our board member and History of Tractors organizer, Leander Wetter, we will not host the event this year. In the future, we will look at restructuring the event with renewed focus and exciting presenters.
Thank you for your patience and consideration.

History of Tractors Program
In its 23rd year, the History of Tractors series has drawn upwards of 250 attendees from around the state and beyond. This year’s topic is OLIVER with speaker Luke Cain, Northland Oliver Collectors Association, will take place at the Wright County Historical Society (2001 Hwy 25 N, Buffalo, MN) on Tuesday March 21, 2023. Due to overwhelming attendance in the past, WCHS is now hosting two identical presentations, at 1:30pm and 6:30pm, in the WCHS Activity Room. Please note that parking on site is at a premium and prioritized for those with handicapped parking passes. All others please consider parking in the West Pulaski parking lot just south of WCHS’s entrance; a shuttle service will be available to and from our front doors!
This event is free and open to the public. There will be an indoor display due to the huge pile of snow in our parking lot! If attendees wish, they may bring bars or cookies for the coffee hour following each presentation. For more information on the History of Tractors Program or any other upcoming events at the Wright County Historical Society please contact Sally Stevens, Business Manager, at (763) 682-7323 or (800) 362-3667, ext. 7323.
