Antique Truck Show comes to OHTM, July 20-21
OWLS HEAD — Visit Owls Head Transportation Museum on Saturday, July 20 and Sunday, July 21, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., for an exciting roster of activities ranging from an antique military vehicle showcase to blind-spot demonstrations and a synchronized horn blow from all the assembled trucks.
There will be aircraft and auto demonstrations, two Kids STEM Activity Centers, and vintage car rides. OHTM is offering a range of indoor and outdoor education activities which include peddle and self propelled cars for children, Fire Engine and Semi Truck “Touch a Truck” experiences, Tire Tread Painting, kid friendly “sandpit” with toy trucks to move materials, outdoor family games and more.
OHTM’s 1926 American LaFrance Ladder Truck was converted from a Model T, and was the original chemical truck was used by the Farmington Fire Department. Two 25-gallon chemical tanks are filled with water, into which 10 pounds of bicarbonate soda is dissolved. Sulfuric acid is placed in a glass receptacle near the top of the tank. The result is a chemical reaction that forces the water out of the hose.
On both days, attendees can enjoy vintage car rides, food and beverages from the café, or get some shade indoors as they explore OHTM’s collection of classic automobiles and vintage aircraft.
