Upcoming Events
Plow day saturday October 29 was a huge success with 25 + tractors and around 50 + acres turned over for the day. A BIG THANK YOU goes out to Fred and J.C. Linville and there families for giving us the opportunity to play for the day. Our local farmer support such as these folks makes having these functions another great reason to be a part of our organization. Fred and J.C. have hosted our plow day at one of there many farms several times and every time they rolled out the red carpet for us. Many thanks for another great fall event from all the members that chose to attend and enjoy the hospitality and great lunch prepared by some of our lady members. Nothing better than a big bowl of chili and sweets while doing what we love to do, PLAY in the dirt! Check out the plow day 2011 page at the left for pictures taken during the event. Thanks again for another great Johnson County Antique Machinery Assoc event and plan to attend next year.
The Franklin Toy show November 27 was a great success with a steady buying crowd all day. Great job on the part of the Bill Cramer and his dedicated family members and friends to making this another day to remember.

What We Are
JCAMA is a Club devoted to the restoration and preservation of the farm tools and equipment of years gone by. Our Fathers and Forefathers used these to till the soil, sow the seeds, and reap the harvest.
JCAMA was started in the winter of January 1992. 35 Charter members started and formed the Club. That following September the first collection of Antique Machinery was brought together to have the first show.
The Club has grown to a great group of folks from all age groups and they enjoy bringing back our Farming Heritage to life for others to enjoy. Many changes have come along in the last several decades for farming.
One could only imagine what it was like to first farm with Horses or Oxen and then in later years be introduced to a new age, the gas engine, tractors and trucks.
Many of our club members from the older generation have many story’s to tell about how farming has changed throughout the years and the hardships that have went along with them to bring the Farming to what we know today.
JCAMA club members strive to bring back a little of that past every year at our show to educate the younger generation’s of today to hopefully appreciate what our Fathers and Forefathers have done for decades. Our goal is to give the older generations a chance to step back in time, and reminise of the long ago forgotten past of our Farming Heritage.
Visit with us at our annual show the third weekend in June and see what we have to offer for the community. Our show grounds is located in the great Johnson County Recreation Park just west of the intersection of Highway 31 and ST. RD. 252 near Edinburgh Indiana and Camp Atterbury Military base.
