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!
Happy New Year! 🎉
We owe a BIG thank you to everyone who walked through our doors this past year. Who visited from near and far. Who told someone else about their experience at our facility. And last but certainly not least, to those who shared our love of earthmoving, antique machinery, and more. THANK YOU!
We appreciate you and look forward to seeing you in 2024!

Tomorrow's event is in the Elkader Industrial Park, in the newest building — a 75,000 square foot building to house the CJ Moyna & Sons maintenance facility.
We're OPEN! 🙌 🎉
Stop in and see us this week, before we welcome in the New Year!
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!

Holt 60..... Soft, reclaimed marsh land led to the development of a tracked tractor to maintain traction without sinking in. Watching Holt's prototype at work, a photographer commented to Holt that its motions reminded him of a caterpillar walking. The comment inspired Holt to trademark the caterpillar name, and the 1925 merger between Holt Manufacturing and C.L. Best Tractor Company formed Caterpillar Tractor Company. #caterpillarhistory #antiquecaterpillar #caterpillarequipment #antiquecaterpillarmachinery #earthmovinglegacycenter
