Antique Tractor Museum

Antique Tractor Museum, established on 18 August 2014 in the district of Gelibolu, Çanakkale by businessman Dursun Keskin in memory of his son Reha Keskin, is Turkey's first antique tractor museum.

More than 70 tractors of different models and brands, produced in various countries and used in different parts of Turkey between 1937 and 1964, along with related spare parts, are exhibited on an area of 1500 square metres. 60% of the tractors are brands that are no longer produced. Also, a Nichols & Shepard steam tractor, manufactured in America in 1884 and used for many years in Belgium, has been brought from abroad and is the oldest piece in the collection.

Founder Keskin realized that there are tractor museums in Europe but none in Turkey, and turned this idea into reality; the museum's opening took place within the framework of the 19th International Gelibolu Golden Sardine Culture and Art Festival.

The museum, designed in a style suitable for European museology by restoring an old fish factory building on Korean Heroes Street in Gelibolu, consists of two floors and charges an admission fee.
