The Canadian Grain Elevator Discovery Centre

Welcome to the Nanton Grain Elevators, a living piece of Canada's agricultural history.

Our iconic grain elevators, standing tall against the prairie sky, offer a glimpse into the vital role these structures played in shaping the rural landscape.

As a cherished local landmark, we invite you to explore our rich heritage, discover the stories of those who worked the land, and experience the past coming alive through our interactive exhibits and guided tours.

Whether you're a history enthusiast or simply looking to connect with the roots of Canadian farming, the Nanton Grain Elevators provide an unforgettable journey back in time.
