Update: Each exhibitor will receive 1 free admission to the Old Time Power Show
Tucked into the quiet countryside of Cedar Falls lies a living celebration of America’s rural roots: Antique Acres.
Since 1964, this beloved landmark has drawn visitors from near and far for its unforgettable Old Time Power Show each August — a three-day spectacle devoted to preserving and bringing antique machinery back to life. But this isn’t just a show — it’s an experience. Feel the ground rumble beneath powerful steam engines. Watch a “Parade of Power” roll past, from charming antique garden tractors to towering iron giants that glow in a dazzling light display after dark. Step back in time as exhibitors showcase beautifully restored farm equipment, jelly simmers on a wood-fired stove, and horses pull an antique plow just as they did generations ago. Beyond the excitement of the show grounds, the museum at Antique Acres invites you to explore rare and remarkable pieces of agricultural history. Guided tours welcome school groups, out-of-town visitors, and curious travelers alike — each offering a hands-on glimpse into the ingenuity of the past. At Antique Acres, history doesn’t sit behind glass. It moves, steams, shines, and comes alive.
Planning to stay awhile? The grounds also feature a campground, a shelter and stage for events, and an air-conditioned hall with full kitchen facilities — perfect for gatherings of all kinds.
