Last Blast

The Simcoe County Museum, in collaboration with the Historical Construction Equipment Association (H.C.E.A) of Canada, is proud to present another exciting edition of the Last Blast on October 17, 2026; a one-of-a-kind celebration of vintage steam-powered machinery.

Step back in time and experience the raw power and engineering marvels of historic construction equipment in action before they’re put away for the winter season.

From antique tractors and classic trucks to steam rollers, shovels, and road-building equipment, this event offers something for everyone. Enjoy dynamic live demonstrations and engaging static displays that will fascinate visitors of all ages.

Savour the beauty of fall as you explore the picturesque museum grounds. Whether you’re fueling up at our concession stand or bringing your own lunch to enjoy in our covered picnic area, it’s the perfect way to spend a fall day.
