The Foothills Antique Power Association of North Carolina is a non-profit organization dedicated to “Preserving the Past for the Future.” Our mission is carried out through the collection, restoration, and demonstration of antique farm machinery, as well as antique automobiles, trucks, motorcycles, chainsaws, stationary engines, and many other types of equipment — whether hand-powered or horse-powered.Our members work diligently to preserve these important pieces of history by restoring them and demonstrating how they were used in the past, allowing future generations to experience and appreciate them.
