Tuckahoe Steam and Gas Association
July 4th, 2007 at 10:51 am by Alan in The HistoryWe are an all-volunteer organization founded in 1973 and headquartered on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. Our Mission is to preserve the historical Eastern Shore rural way of life.
In support of our Mission, we maintain a 70-acre facility five miles north of Easton MD on which we collect, restore, display, and operate a wide variety of antique industrial machinery and agricultural equipment. We welcome the public to our annual show held on the grounds during the weekend after the Fourth of July. We also sponsor many other events and share our facility with various community groups. We are always actively seeking new members who will share our interests and goals.
