The heritage of the Ferguson Tractor was celebrated on Saturday 28th June at the Ulster Folk Museum in Cultra. The tractor spectacle offered a captivating celebration of Harry Ferguson's agricultural legacy, with vintage Ferguson tractors in action, from ploughing and cultivating demonstrations, to a striking “concours d'élégance”, where rare models parade through the museum grounds to the fitting accompaniment of the Harry Ferguson Pipe Band. The atmosphere was enriched with traditional music, craft displays and is a wonderful chance, whilst celebrating the story of a local Co Down innovator whose work reshaped farming worldwide, to reconnect and celebrate our heritage through the whole museum experience that preserves Ulster’s past.
