The Florida Flywheelers Antique Engine Club was founded in 1972 to promote the history and restoration of antique engines, autos and other antique devices. Flywheeler Park, located at 7000 Avon Park Cutoff Road, Fort Meade, Florida, was purchased in 1997 to showcase the 1,500+ member collections and preserve a part of history.
It has since grown to nearly 240 acres with multiple shows per year and includes a tractor pull track, club and member buildings, as well as, large engine collections.
The club advertises their shows as "wholesome fun for the whole family" with antique tractor displays, a steam-powered saw mill, an old engine ice cream maker, a pioneer village complete with cabins, barns, a church, a mercantile, blacksmith, schoolhouse, stores, stables, a jail, a firehouse, and gas stations, and miles of flea market items and carnival-style food.
Events are held in January, February and November with a special Christmas in the Village in December. Visit Florida Flywheelers Antique Engine Club for the 2011 - 2012 schedule and more information.
