JULY 4TH WEEKEND AT HESSTON STEAM MUSEUM … IT’S A GAS!

HESSTON, IN – The Hesston Steam Museum has everything people associate with the 
July 4th weekend – a relaxing family picnic atmosphere plus entertainment with plenty of 
smoke, sounds and bright colors.

Hesston hosts its ANNUAL GAS TRACTOR SHOW on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, 
July 4, 5, and 6.  And instead of ear-splitting noises, visitors will hear log-splitting noises 
at Hesston’s steam-powered saw mill, which will run during the three-day weekend!

Hesston’s Gift Shop will be open and visitors can buy refreshments or lunch on the 
grounds. Better still, there’s plenty of room for picnics!

Museum Grounds open at 11:30 and trains run from noon to 5 p.m. CDT. NO admission 
and free parking!

Train Ride Fares are $3.00 for children and $5.00 for adults. Each person in a group can 
purchase a four-ride ticket for just $10.00 for children and $17.00 for adults.

Hesston Steam Museum is located east of State Rd. 39 (west of Basswood Rd.) on La 
Porte County Rd., 1000 North / From I-94 (Exit 1 Michigan), New Buffalo or Indiana 
Toll Road (Exit  49) La Porte.
