Scandia Eastern Irrigation District Museum, Open-air museum in Scandia, Canada

This site is a collection of historic buildings on open grounds, including a grain elevator from the 1920s, a railroad station, a blacksmith shop, livestock pens, and a former store. The structures are spread across the area and show how a prairie settlement worked.

The Canadian Pacific Railway station was built in Jenner and served that hamlet for 103 years before the community and museum society moved it to Scandia in 2011-2012. It has since been restored and now functions as a theater and community gathering place. The museum also holds a 1925 Alberta Wheat Pool grain elevator and the Bow Slope Stockyard.

The site shows how people in this prairie region lived and worked through original buildings like shops, workshops, and storage areas. You can see how farming shaped the community and what role different structures played in everyday routines.

You can explore the outdoor grounds on your own, but to go inside the buildings you should arrange a visit ahead of time. The best time is during dry weather since there are no covered walkways between the buildings.

The 1925 Alberta Wheat Pool elevator and the Bow Slope Stockyard stand together in the park, and the Jenner station was already 103 years old when it arrived in 2011-2012. It now serves as a theater and community gathering place.
