8105 Springhill Road, Erie, IL 61250

Experience an old-fashioned working farm harvest in Erie with vintage equipment, harvesting, traditional demonstrations, a Sunday tractor pull, and more—all with free admission and parking.

Step back into harvest season at Bos Brothers Historical Farm in Erie during the Old Fashioned Fall Harvest, Sept. 25–27. This family-friendly working farm show brings traditional agriculture to life with vintage equipment, hands-on demonstrations, and plenty of old-fashioned farm activity.

Visitors can watch corn and soybeans harvested from the field and follow the process as corn is shelled, milled, and turned into fresh-baked bread. Throughout the weekend, demonstrations include plowing, muscle tractor plowing, sawmilling, blacksmithing, rock crushing, pottery, rug weaving, quilting, macramé, and more.

On Sunday, the weekend continues with a church service in the barn at 9:30 a.m., followed by the Back Road Pullers tractor pull at 1 p.m. Food is available on the grounds, along with modern restroom facilities.

The event runs from 8 a.m.–5 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 8 a.m.–3 p.m. Sunday. Admission and parking are free.
