Roots of Motive Power Steam Festival 

September 9-10, 2023

Join us for the  Roots of Motive Power 41st Annual Steam Festival September 9 and 10!

The Museum will host a Community Print Making station at Recreation Grove from 11 a.m. – 3 p.m. both days. Carve your block and have it printed by the Roots of Motive Power using their Buffalo Steam Roller! With permission, the Museum will exhibit your entry in a pop-up community printmaking exhibit. Last year, over 60 community entries contributed to a dynamic show!

Keep your eye out during the festival for guest artist Rik Olson who will be printing his annual 3x3 foot block!

In addition the Museum will offer extended hours, 10 a.m. – 4 p.m., and FREE admission Saturday and Sunday. We invite everyone to stop by to see our exhibit: ImPRESSED and be inspired by the works on display.

This event has been made possible by the generous donation of the Rotary Club of Willits, the Friends of the Mendocino County Museum, and Roots of Motive Power.
