CAMP CREEK THRESHERS

17402 Bluff Road
Waverly, NE 68462
402-786-3003

The Camp Creek Threshers are a part of the Rural Nebraska Heritage Association. We are a non-profit volunteer organization whose purpose is to preserve and educate about the agricultural and industrial heritage of the plains and Nebraska. Each year several events are hosted at the association grounds just east of Waverly, Nebraska. The featured event occurs each summer during the third weekend of July which is the antique machinery and threshing show. During the show many types of antique equipment can be seen operating helping to bring the past alive for those who remember it and to educate all about the past we come from. There is something for all to enjoy at the Camp Creek Threshers. They also host an annual swap meet in May with flea market and food vendors, a fun run in June, and railroaders the third weekend in September, where individuals are invited to ride the trains. They also host an annual trunk-or-treat, which is free to the public, called Eek at the Creek in mid-October. Please visit the affiliated links for more information.
