Dick Erickson was a man of few words. His collection of vintage antiques spoke for itself.
He collected treasures from the past his entire life. When Dick passed away on November 21, 2018 his family made sure that his collection would live on.
During his lifetime Dick traveled to all seven continents, hunted around the world, and was an accomplished musician, a licensed pilot, and an avid collector of everything and anything from tote gote’s, motorcycles, automobiles, to steam-powered tractors. He was determined to not let his dreams die with him, and this weekend you can view Dick’s private collection, Friday through Sunday June 21 – 23. In a little corner of Wallsburg, you will visit and see over 120 antique farm tractors, more than 50 motorcycles dating back to 1911, antique trucks and steam engines, visitors can tour a 1960’s-era salvage garage, a restored shoe repair store from Salt Lake City’s North Temple Street, a print shop, complete with working presses, a vintage service station, two historic cabins from the nearby Heber Valley, a blacksmith shop, a restored Salt Lake City café, and a shingle and lathe mill. Pictures don’t even do justice to this amazing collection of the past. Admission is $10, and a family pass is available for $35 or a weekend pass with camping on site is also possible.
