First State Antique Tractor Club

The First State Antique Tractor Club was formed on May 17, 2001. Bruce Reeder had attended the Hickory Ridge show in Milford, Delaware for many years. When Horace and Norma Potter chose to retire their show after twenty years, Bruce contacted some of the other attendees of the Hickory Ridge Show and called a meeting on April 18, 2001 at the Ellendale Fire House. There were eleven people present. After some discussion they decided to have another meeting on May 17,2001 at Sam Yoder and Son's truss office in Greenwood, Delaware. Advertisements were placed in local newspapers. Twenty men and one woman attended the meeting. It was decided to form the club. Officer's were elected and September 22, 2001 was chosen as the first show dated. The show would be held at Mr. and Mrs. Sam Yoder's farm in Greenwood, Delaware. Members worked very diligently planning the show.

Since 2001, through our own annual show, club representatives and members participating in other shows, fund raisers and scholarships, we strive to share our love of antique tractors. We hope you will find our site informative and entertaining. Don't forget to check out our calendar. We hope to see you at an event soon.
