Storytelling is one of our favorite pastimes. 💛

If you’ve ever met our collector and owner, John Moyna, you know you’re guaranteed to hear a good story during a conversation with him.

Come see us to discover how we’re continuing to share the story of earthmoving, the evolution of Caterpillar machinery, and much more!

Have you been through the newest part of our exhibit?

This remodel of the “old Moyna shop” has served many purposes over the years (including the beginning days of Mobile Track Solutions) but now houses the D2 and D4 era of Caterpillar machinery and documents the impacts on the agricultural, earthmoving and military areas.

Come see it for yourself soon!
