Rough and Tumble Engineers Historical Association
The Rough and Tumble Engineers Historical Association puts on the second- or third- oldest Threshermen’s Reunion in the United States. It is held in the middle of August each year, from Wednesday through Saturday, in Kinzers, Pennsylvania, about eight miles east of the city of Lancaster. The association’s name is taken from the 1890s book ''Rough and Tumble Engineering: Book of Instructions for Operators of Farm and Traction Engines'' by James H. Maggard.
==Threshermen==
Threshermen were crews of laborers who owned their own traction engine, and threshing machinery, and moved from farm to farm to bring in and thresh the wheat harvest. Many crews covered several states and several hundred miles each season. Farmers and their wives would compete to gain and keep the services of the best threshing crews. Threshermen were made obsolete by the development of the combine harvester, in the 1940s and 1950s.
