Our Mission
The mission of the Tod Engine Foundation is to preserve the steelmaking heritage of the Youngstown steelmaking district, and to preserve the history and technology of large reciprocating engines in the steel industry. Our major project is the construction of the Tod Engine Heritage Park in Youngstown, where we have preserved the Tod Engine, a 260 ton rolling mill steam engine built in Youngstown.
The Tod Engine Foundation also undertakes projects in other locations to assist in the preservation of large reciprocating power. We are the only organization in the United States specializing in the preservation of some of the largest reciprocating engines ever built.
