Shot on 8mm film in 1969, this vintage home movie captures a large steam traction engine at a rural fair or agricultural exhibition in Jordan, Minnesota. The massive black steam tractor, with its prominent boiler and large rear wheel, is surrounded by spectators in period attire. A young boy in a red plaid shirt stands near the front, while others watch from under a canopy. The scene unfolds outdoors on a sunny day, with trees and a red tractor visible in the background, evoking a nostalgic mid-century Americana atmosphere.
