The Lansford Thresher's and Historical Association began in 1971 in Lansford, North Dakota. Charter members had a vision to preserve the heritage of farming methods used years ago. The threshing grounds house an old train depot which is used as a cafe during the annual show. There is also an old cabin, school and church that are open to the public once a year. A museum is also open to the public during the show. A replica of the town of Lansford is on display in the Helming building. The working Blacksmith Shop is used by real blacksmiths creating works of art during the show. A parade of antique tractors make the trek to the threshing grounds through neighboring small towns to begin the show on Saturday. Sunday's show has a demonstration of wheat threshing. Throughout the show there are various old time skill demonstrations, presentations, children's events and concessions to be enjoyed by the whole family.
