Reel Lawn Mower
History & Preservation Project @ North Farms
The Reel Lawn Mower History & Preservation Project @ North Farms evolved
from the combination of two areas of interest. The Collection was begun
to preserve the antique and vintage hand, horse & motor lawn mowers of the 19th and early 20th
century. Currently there are over 200 mowers representing 25 manufacturers.
The Reel Lawn Mower History Project was started to assist in the restoration
efforts of the older cutting units. It also works to increase historical knowledge
of their many makers.
The scope of the project is to:
- collect and preserve vintage lawn mowers.
- chronicle materials and manufacturing techniques.
- document former and current manufacturers.
- serve as contact for company personnel and their families.
- share information through presentations and publications.
- act as repository for assorted materials such as catalogues, ephemera, and photographs.
The Collection @ North Farms is open to interested visitors by arrangement.
