Data Points

The Tractor Story exhibition stands as Croatia's inaugural permanent showcase of vintage tractors, inaugurated in 2010. Housing a collection of 50 antique tractors, alongside threshing machines and various other agricultural implements, it also features a curated selection of period photographs and documents. A highlight of this exhibition is the presence of an ancient Fordson model dating back to 1923, hailed as the first tractor to grace the fields of the nearby village of Nova Vas. Additionally, a relic of an engine with a heated head, once pivotal in powering a mill in Poreč during the early 20th century, adds a fascinating dimension to the display. Spanning from antiquity to modernity, this region has long been synonymous with agriculture. However, the rapid technological advancements of the 20th century ushered in a period of obsolescence for traditional tools and machinery, once emblematic of the local culture. Nostalgia for this bygone era spurred the conception of preserving and recounting the agricultural narrative, with the acquisition of the historic Fordson tractor marking a pivotal moment in this endeavor. Subsequent efforts saw the accumulation of a diverse array of vintage tractors, threshing machines, and other agricultural paraphernalia, culminating in a prized collection that stands open for visitors to explore and appreciate.
