A PROPOSAL TO BRING THE SPENCER TRACTOR BACK TO WAYNE COUNTY TO: WCHS BOARD OF DIRECTORS
FROM: FARM MUSEUM COMMITTEE, Linda Dix Lee, Chair DATE: JANUARY 15, 2004 PRESENTED BY: Rod Brown, Committee Member
BACKGROUND: The Spencer Steam Tractor is truly a Wayne County original. The idea for building Wayne County's first steam tractor was conceived by David Spencer of Pleasant Mount in 1876 after visiting the Philadelphia Centennial. Constructed in 1888, it was presented to the public on July 4th, 1889 in Pleasant Mount where it was driven through the village and up the North Road, a distance of three miles in all. Several hundred people were in town for the occasion and some were fortunate enough to catch a ride. It was used afterward to haul logs at a mill yard. After David Spencer's death, the tractor eventually found its way from Pleasant
Mount to Uniondale to Honesdale, where it was donated to the Wayne County Historical Society in 1947. The Historical Society, for reasons unknown to us, at some point in time de-acquisitioned the tractor. It is presently owned by Alan Grieme and is located on Rt. 191 south of Wind Gap, PA. The tractor is currently uncovered and has been for several years, although a shingled covered roof has afforded some degree of protection.
On November 25,2003, three members of the Farm Committee viewed and photographed the tractor. The Committee strongly recommends that the Spencer tractor be returned to Wayne County where it belongs. PROPOSAL:
Phase I - AcQuisition Price - $3000 max Pallet - $500 Moving - donated by Dave Williams Storage - donated site
to display but non-operating condition) Estimated range - $5000-15,000 Funding - Phase I
$500 - donations expected before transfer of tractor $3000 - proposed loan from WCHS Board (to be repaid by Farm Museum Committee over a three year period)
Funding - Phase n To take place over a several year period by the following means: Donations of materials and labor
Spencer tractor fund raising by the Farm Museum Committee Use of any profits realized from Farm Museum during Fair weeks Future Placement
Our goal is to eventually house the restored tractor at a suitable site.
