Western Michigan Old Engine Club at Scottville Riverside Park
The Western Michigan Old Engine Club was formed on February 10, 1974 in Riverton Township. Located between Scottville and Ludington, MI, 21 people gathered for the first meeting.
Members of the club are interested in restoring and running old gas hit and miss engines, steam engines, or other antique equipment. Originally the collection was exhibited at the Fred Donohue’s farm south of Ludington. When the collection became too large for the farm it was moved to Mason Counties Historic White Pine Village.
The collection soon outgrew this location as well, in 1990 the Western Michigan Engine Club was moved to its permanent location on 22 acres at Riverside Park in Scottville, MI. A pavilion was built at this location and hosts its annual show on the first Friday, Saturday, and Sunday of August.
