Collecting, repairing, maintaining in order to pass on and bring back to life an often already forgotten heritage, this is the challenge given to this handful of enthusiasts. Patiently, old machines are dismantled piece by piece to restore them to their former glory.

And it's true that these tractors are beautiful! They look like brand new but all were born before 1963. And that's not all, old postcards of St-Vulbas and the surrounding villages adorn the walls with skits of home and agricultural life in the past.

Here, museum does not mean static. Volunteers want to offer repair workshops for young and old and even demonstration and machine driving days! Something to amaze the grandchildren and bring back good memories to the grandparents.
