Canadian Grain Elevator Discovery Centre, Agricultural museum in Nanton, Canada.
The Canadian Grain Elevator Discovery Centre contains three restored grain elevators that demonstrate traditional grain storage and distribution methods in Alberta's agricultural sector.
Built between 1927 and 1929, these grain elevators served the Canadian Pacific Railway's MacLeod subdivision until 2002, when local preservation efforts saved them from demolition.
The centre preserves Alberta's agricultural heritage through exhibits, artifacts, and educational programs that showcase the evolution of farming practices in Western Canada.
Visitors can participate in guided tours throughout the year, exploring the inner mechanisms of grain elevators while learning about their operational significance in Canadian agriculture.
The facility maintains original railway tracks and features elevators painted in Alberta Wheat Pool and Pioneer colors, representing different periods of agricultural commerce.
