ABOUT US

The Earthmoving Legacy Center is a 38,000 square foot facility to showcase the rich history of earthmoving. Our collection spans from the 1880's to 1940, focusing primarily on the evolution of the Caterpillar Company.  It came about as a way for John Moyna to share his large collection with everyone, whether they’re an avid tractor fan or a class of curious students.  In creating the Earthmoving Legacy Center, we have had the opportunity to allow other collectors to loan their pieces as well, to help showcase early track-type tractors from Caterpillar, Holt Manufacturing and C.L. Best Manufacturing.  The collection features over 100 pieces indoors and nearly 300 pieces outdoors, ranging from horse-drawn earthmoving equipment to the 1940’s era.
