Steam and Gas Engine Show in Pawnee, Oklahoma - May 1, 2026

Step back in time at the 59th Annual Steam & Gas Engine Show in Pawnee — where history isn’t just preserved… it’s fired up and running. From massive steam engines hissing to life, to beautifully restored antique tractors and hit-and-miss engines chugging away, this show is packed with pure mechanical nostalgia. If you love old iron, farm history, or just the sound of something built to last forever, you’re in the right place. I brought along some vintage lenses to match the vibe of these machines—because let’s be honest… modern glass just feels wrong when you’re filming something this old. This one’s all about storytelling, texture, and that timeless look.
