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

The museum exhibits a 1925 Alberta Wheat Pool grain elevator, railroad station, blacksmith shop, barn, general store, and stockyards across its extensive grounds.

In 2011, the museum society transported and restored a century-old Canadian Pacific Railway station from Jenner to create a theater and community space.

The museum demonstrates the agricultural methods, commerce patterns, and daily routines of Southern Alberta farming communities through its collection of structures and artifacts.

Visitors can explore the outdoor grounds during any time, though interior building access requires scheduling during regular operational hours with suggested donations.

The Bow Slope Stockyard section maintains original structures from when Scandia marked the terminal point for regional grain transport by rail until the 1970s.
