About Us
The LaGrange Engine Club is a long standing Lorain County organization. We are a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation formed in 1970. Our club is very dedicated to the restoration, preservation, and display of antique farm and industrial machinery and engines.
In 2006 we came to an agreement with the Lorain County Agricultural Society in order to save a display barn from the early 1900’s that was at the original Lorain County Fairgrounds in Elyria, Ohio. The building has a unique design, topped by a long cupola with large windows. The structure, now known as the Heritage Barn, is used regularly by our club during the Lorain County Fair and our annual show held in September.
In 2012 our organization was responsible for moving an old farm shop to the Fairgrounds and turning it into our current blacksmith shop. We laid a stone foundation, built a forge, and acquired many tools from members to make it a real working shop.:
