Description

Small engines, antique tractors and turn-of-the-century steam engines have found a home at the Essex County Steam and Gas Engine Museum, the largest steam engine museum in Ontario. Come for the tractors but discover so much more, like the Walkerville steam engine and the Carl Smith saw mill. The annual Steam and Gas Engine Show in August is a time to appreciate our past and to marvel at the antique tractors, steam engines and farm equipment that helped our ancestors settle and prosper in this area. Tours are available by appointment.

Meet the Volunteers

Volunteers at the Essex County Steam and Gas Engine Museum are the backbone of this local treasure. Members like Evelyn Baker, Donna Baker and Johanne Mallette love sharing their equipment knowledge and work hard to prepare for the annual Steam and Gas Engine Show in August. Generous donations of unique pieces of machinery and countless hours of careful restoration by dedicated volunteers have been the cornerstones of the museum’s operation from the beginning.
