Museum
In the mid 70’s Jerry Everitt along with His friend Merle Soules built and opened a Tractorland Museum in Jerry’s Father’s Honor Stanley Everitt. The museum showcased steam-farm tractors from 1900-1950’s; also farm equipment and tools through the early 1900’s. The museum hosted people from the late 70’s to the early 2000’s from all over the US and Overseas till it’s liquidation auction in 2019.
By the late 1980's, the auctions had grown as Jerry had taught his two sons and brother-in-law the business, growing it into a huge auction that regularly sold 100 tractors and 500 - 800 pieces of farm equipment's.
In the early 2000's, Jeff & Don started their own auctions
in Fennimore, Wisconsin and Joel took over Jerry's Auction business and relocated it to it's current location near Strawberry Point, Iowa
In 2023, Joel's son, Jordan, established His own business (Jordan Sales) located at the same location with His' Father (Joel's Tractors & Auction, LLC) 4 miles North of Strawberry Point, Iowa, which now make us a 4th generation business.
Congratulations
