Sights and Sounds at Rollag

Ride The Train

The 353 is an icon of the Rollag show. Serving out its working years as a switching engine, the Alco locomotive now resides at Rollag. It provides rides around our showgrounds for our visitors, and is a beloved by kids of all ages, 1 to 101.

While riding the rails at Rollag, the 353 will take you around our course on a roughly 2 mile loop, and also provides scenic transportation around the back-side of Gunderson Pond if you are looking to traverse the show grounds and get a different view.

Quick History

It all started in 1940 with a little idea sparked from the soul of some local thresherman over supper. The Nelson boys fired up the old Garr-Scott engine to thresh with steam again for old time sake with family & friends. The event continued once a year until 1954, when Western Minnesota Steam Threshers Reunion met formally for the first time and invited the public. Today the show has grown to include hundreds of demonstrations and exhibits spread over 210 beautiful acres. The show attracts thousands of spectators and volunteers every Labor Day weekend.
