Description
A wide rural scene shows steam traction engines working in a field beside a large wagon loaded with hay or grain. Several men stand around the machinery, and one man is visible atop the load operating a tool. The image has a bright outdoor look with open sky and grassy ground. The card appears to be from the 1980s.
Back Text (verbatim):
See real grain threshed in the old-style way by huge 60-year-old steam traction engines at Madison's Steam Threshing Jamboree the last weekend every August. Old school, church, sod house, jail, depot, claim shanty, etc. are open for your inspection daily from June 1 through Labor Day at Prairie Historical Village, 2 miles west of Madison, S. D. on U.S. 81 & S.D. 34. Here's educational fun!
