Built in 1958, the Grain Elevator was in operation until 1995 when it was due to be demolished. It is the last remaining wooden Grain Elevator on the CN Rail line west of Edmonton.

In 1933 there were 1800 primary elevators in Western Canada. But in 2003, there were only 389 and the number has continued to decrease significantly. As of April 21, 2013, there are 313 known Grain Facilities in Alberta: 258 wooden, 42 concrete, and 12 steel elevators and annexes. This is why the preservation of the Grain Elevator in Spruce Grove is essential. The loss of the Grain Elevators in Western Canada is the loss of a unique part of North American history and culture associated with the Canadian Prairies. Through donations to the Spruce Grove and District Agricultural Society, we are able to fund the upkeep of this Prairie treasure.

The Multicultural Heritage Centre has been preserving and promoting the history of Stony Plain for over 40 years. The Centre boasts a living museum which reflects local history, Western Canadian pioneer life and an art gallery promoting local artists as well as artists from all over Alberta and Canada.

Alongside the Old Red Brick School House stands the Oppertshauser House, built in 1910. Currently this old house is home to our “General Store” which is a local Artisans gift shop and old fashioned candy store.

The Centre celebrates our agricultural heritage and our rural values. The arts, culture, sound agricultural practices and strong economic opportunities play pivotal roles in building our future.
