Powerland Heritage Park

Powerland Heritage Park is a large open-air museum in Brooks containing specialized collections of steam engines, trains, trucks, and farm equipment spread across multiple buildings and outdoor areas. The exhibits range from fully restored machinery to vehicles undergoing restoration, allowing visitors to see different stages of preservation work.

The site originated in the 1970s as a gathering place for equipment enthusiasts and was officially established as a park in 1996. This growth reflects a broader effort to preserve industrial and agricultural machinery that had become part of regional history.

The Steam-Up event brings people together to watch working machinery and see how equipment was operated in earlier times. Visitors get to experience demonstrations of farming and industrial practices that shaped rural life generations ago.

The park is open during warmer months with daytime hours and features large outdoor areas to explore at your own pace. Wear comfortable shoes and prepare for changing weather, especially when visiting during demonstration events.

The truck collection stands out as one of the largest on the site, with restored vehicles spanning different decades and purposes. This section appeals to transportation enthusiasts beyond just steam engine fans and offers a different perspective on industrial heritage.
