Been there a long time ago, I use to live in South Kent. It was a good show back then (1988). What are the shows like nowadays? It use to be all out in the open.

Show is BETTER than ever! Check the website, there are a lot of new buildings on the site,working blacksmith shop, HUGE oil field engines inside, The BIG steam enginer building, and GREAT food! They want to buy the steam locomotive that runs up and down a narrow gage rail road bed, only one like it running on the East Coast.
