Wilson County Old Iron Club of Fredonia, KS,  invites you to our annual show, featuring over 30 working demonstrations of antique farm equipment, domestic methods of the past, and much more.  Make your plans now.  This will be the best show you attend all year!  Our show is held the last Thursday-Sunday in September.  (The final day of the show must fall in September).  

You will see and experience displays that you won't see anywhere else.  We are a WORKING show.  If we display the equipment, it works as it was created to work.  Our knowledgeable and experienced demonstrators teach visitors about the function and history of each item, and how they worked as part of rural life in the past.


As we are a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, we rely heavily on donations to be able to put on the show each year.  For a $5 donation, you will receive a button that is good for all 4 days of the show.  Children 12 and under are free.

Each year, we are host to over 2,000 area school children. If you would like to register your school group to be a part of this experience, click the button.
