Keep History Alive!
From volunteering at our events to restoring historical machinery, the Michigan Flywheelers Museum has plenty of opportunities for every antique tractor and engine enthusiast – young and old.
Whether you offer a hand constructing an exhibit or simply like to garden, there is plenty of things to do no matter what your skill level is.
Not sure how to drive a tractor or mark inventory in our gift shop? No problem. We can teach you. Not able to do much physically? No problem. We have plenty of things to do like folding brochures where you can sit down while you work.
Not able to come out during work days during the summer? No problem – volunteer during our June Swap Meet and our Antique Engine & Tractor Show in September. It takes a lot of volunteers during these events who do everything from picking up trash to selling raffle tickets. Sign up sheets are located in the ticket booth.
To keep updated on volunteer opportunities, please contact michiganflywheelers@yahoo.com to be added to our list.
