The Simcoe County Museum, in collaboration with the Historical Construction Equipment Association of Canada, is going to present another exciting edition of the Last Blast.

This is a one-of-a-kind celebration of vintage steam-powered machinery.

During this event, you step back in time and experience the raw power and engineering marvels of historic construction equipment in action.

From antique tractors and classic trucks to steam rollers, shovels, and road-building equipment, this event offers an impressive array of equipment from a bygone era.

The event features live demonstrations and static displays.

While at the museum, you can explore the picturesque museum grounds, have something to eat at the concession stand, or bring your own lunch to enjoy in the covered picnic area.

The Last Blast event will take place on Saturday, Oct. 18, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Simcoe County Museum at 1151 ON-26 in Minesing.

Admission is $10 for adults, $8 for seniors 65-plus, $8 for youth ages 12 to 20, $5 for children, and free for preschoolers and museum members.
