The 5th Annual Model Engineering and Historic Power Show is hosted by the Western Museum of Mining and Industry (WMMI). This event was inspired by the Museum’s historically significant collection of operating steam engines, models and mining machinery. It is intended to provide an entertaining and technical experience for our visitors by showcasing the exceptional hobby of model engineering. Please visit the wonderful model builders who are exhibiting their precision-built and operating machinery at your own pace.

Special group demonstrations, tours and the operation of the Museum’s equipment will be offered throughout the weekend. Review the schedule of events (coming soon) and listen for the shrill whistle of our steam shovel announcing the beginning of each special demonstration.
