Great opportunity to view the roundhouse, vintage steam & diesel locomotives, restoration projects and more. Tours last about 1-1/2 hours, and will cover about 4/10 mile of walking. These tours will take visitors through the 18-stall roundhouse, back shop, & the Historic collection of the Age of Steam Foundation. The roundhouse complex is home to 20 steam locomotives. Tours will take place at 11am and 2pm. This is a reservations required event and must make a reservation to attend this event.
Cost of tour is $42.00 and includes a box lunch. Reservations are required!! Make reservations by sending check or money order to HCRHP Roundhouse Tour c/o PO Box 116 Holloway, Ohio 43985. Make checks payable to HCRHP. An email address and phone number is required with your reservation. Additional information will be sent by email near the tour date. Let us know if you prefer 11am, 2pm, or if either time would be ok with your reservation. The preferred time is to help us split people up so everyone enjoys the tour and doesn’t guarantee your tour time. Reservation deadline is October 23, 2018.

The roundhouse tour Benefits the Harrison Coal & Reclamation Historical Park’s Mining & Energy Museum & Land Fund. The Mining & Energy Museum Fund has been created for the following purposes · The ability to acquire land. Plans are to acquire 200-250 acres of land. · Constructing a museum building and an open air area featuring mining, construction, agriculture, logging, transportation, and oil & gas history. · Constructing a maintenance & restoration building. · Future maintenance, restoration, and expansion needs of the grounds and equipment.
Our plans are to partner with area high schools, vocational schools, colleges & universities for their mechanic, agriculture, energy operations, natural resource, machining, welding, heavy equipment, and marketing programs. We would also host events featuring mining, construction, agriculture, logging, transportation, and oil & gas history.
The Harrison Coal & Reclamation Historical Park is a 501 (C) (3) non-profit organization. Donations to the fund are tax deductible. We currently own over 20 pieces of equipment relating to the above mentioned industries, including a Marion 7200 walking dragline.
