Field Day of the Past

Field Day of the Past Field Day of the Past is a family event sponsored by the Rockville-Centerville Steam and Gas Historical Association.

This show mixes the warm, down-home atmosphere of the county fairs of yesteryear with exhibits and displays of museum quality. In the summer of 1992, a few steam and gas engine collectors gathered for an informal discussion on the possibity of hosting a steam and gas engine show in Goochland County, VA. They organized the Rockville-Centerville Steam and Gas Historical Association and hosted its fi

rst show, which attracted 5,000 people. The show expanded into a 3 day event, held the third full weekend in September and draws a crowd of approximately 35,000 people annually. In 2021, Field Day of the Past moved from Goochland to Amelia to host its annual event.
