Museums in Killarney Turtle Mountain Flywheel Club Museum The Turtle Mountain Flywheel Club Museum boasts having the largest collection of stationary engines in Manitoba? And their array of tractors, machinery and trucks has a story attached to each piece. The club started in 1976 when a handful of enthusiastic antique tractor-lovers decided to share their treasures with their community. Their passion was to put on a family-oriented show with the desire to share the early history of agriculture, and its progression, with the younger generation. Their collection date from the early 1900’s to the 1960’s and track changes from the horse and plow, to steam-powered machinery, to the kerosene and gasoline powered. An added piece of archival history is that the Universal Tractor and the world’s first Rotary Thresher, both displayed at the museum. Bruce Hathaway invented the Rotary Thresher in Deloraine in the early 1920’s. It was a threshing machine well before its time. The museum will be opened during summer hours. Visit their website at www.tmflywheelclub.ca for more information.
