We are looking for historical items that would have been on the Raitt Homestead Farm from years gone by.  If you have any items you would like to donate we would love to talk with you.  If you see some in your travels please let us know.

The August 20th Truck n Tractor Pull was so much fun, as were all of our events for the summer.  Thanks to everyone that made it possible, from our volunteers, members, exhibitors, partners, and friends!! 

Our Mission is to educate future generations with displays and demonstrations of antique farm equipment for the purpose of keeping valuable farming heritage alive.  The preservation and restoration of the Farm Museums 33 acre property and buildings is an ongoing project throughout the year.   We raise revenue through the events at the farm each summer and fall. The Annual Antique Tractor & Engine Show,  Summerfest which includes the Mainely Grillin' & Chillin' BBQ Competition, Woodsmen Competition , and Truck  Pull and the Halloween Harvest.  We are a registered non-profit organization and 100% of the proceeds goes towards the restoration and preservation of the Farm Museum.

Admission is $6 for adults and children under 6 get in free to the Tractor & Engine Show and Summerfest.   Volunteers are needed to help at all of the events!  Please consider donating a few hours of time at the Farm.  You can make a real difference in donating just a day or a few hours.  We are currently looking for help in building the blacksmith shop, restoring the sawmill, and repairing a few of the outbuildings. We also need a hand in making some scenes and small buildings for the Halloween Harvest.  Please shoot us an email and let us know if you'd like to help!
