Inglis Grain Elevators National Historic Site
Inglis Grain Elevators National Historic Site, National historic site in Shellmouth-Boulton, Canada.
Description
Inglis Grain Elevators is a row of five wooden storage buildings that stand along former railway tracks and showcase agricultural storage techniques from the early 1900s. The structures vary in size and construction, showing how storage methods changed and improved over 20 years.
History
The first four storage buildings were constructed in 1922 right after the railway arrived, which reorganized local grain trading. A fifth elevator was added later and reflects further advances in storage design.
Culture
These wooden structures show how grain trading and railway transport shaped daily life and economic activity in Western Canadian communities. Visitors can see how important these buildings were to farmers and merchants in the region.
Practical
The site is easy to reach and the wooden buildings are visible and accessible for photographs from outside. To learn about the interiors and how the elevators worked, visitors should join guided tours that explain the grain handling operations.
