Visited your place today for grand opening...WOW!!! From a female perspective, I was highly impressed and tractors just don't impress me! The time and quality of your place shows in every corner and detail of your museum. KUDOS to you for bringing it to the area for all to see.

Thoroughly enjoyed three wonderful Abilene-Keystone tractor shows in a row.
The new warehouse facility housing the 100s of beautiful tractors, Indian Motorcycle, and numerous artifacts is a sight to behold.
The commeraderie and good will between the guests-enthusiasts is over the top and the entertainment and refreshments complete the package.
The operation runs like a Swiss watch and the amount of effort to put on and secure the show is beyond belief.
Very best to all and appreciate the classic hospitality and history.

Good job well done! Every thing looks great Keith! Can't wait to see all of the yesteryear tractors and trucks.1 am amazed at all the things you can do ,Keith.
I think the girl you met in Baton Rouge picked a great guy from Virginia. I wish you luck on your museum.

What a GREAT weekend! We really enjoyed the Keystone Klassic Kar show, but especially seeing the antique tractors.
THANKS, this area had nothing like this until now.

The indoor car show was the reason that I attended the October event, but I have to say that the Keystone Tractor Museum was outstanding! What an impressive display of tractors (and I am not a tractor person) they were a site to see for sure! It was a great venue and a great weekend at the grand opening!
