About
Our Roots
In 1974, local individuals who liked to tinker with "old" machinery began getting together once a year to "play" with their collections. The collection of old machinery needed a home and the group needed a name. The South Central Threshing Assoc. was formed. Through the hard work of the "Founding Fathers" and their spouses, this association has grown and collected a massive amount of History. The traditions of the past come alive on the first weekend after Labor Day each year on the Threshing Grounds. The Threshers are now a 501 3 (c) non-profit.
Events
The South Central Threshing Association's mission is "To Preserve Machinery and Traditions of the Past." Each event we host is designed to support our mission though fundraising, promoting membership or continuing traditions. The success of our events are only possible with your support!
