I’ve known about the St. Albert grain elevators for a while and for the life of me couldn’t find them each time I was through. The grain elevators left in more populated areas are rather difficult for me to find as it’s usually obstructed by trees and other buildings. Whereas the ones in the middle of nowhere can be seen sometimes as far as 15km away. This time it looks like I was fated to finally see them. Luckily, these are preserved as a museum and should hopefully last for generations. From the outside, they seem to be in great shape. Likely most rural Alberta attractions, it’s really only open during the Summer months between Victoria Day and Labour Day. I’ll definitely try to visit and see inside someday.
Scenic photos of various historic wooden grain elevators found in Alberta that were a part of daily life in early Western Canada. I had travelled to these locations taking photos and experiencing the small towns that they were a part of. Wooden grain elevators were once common across the prairie provinces, but are now rather scarce as they have largely been replaced by large concrete grain terminals. Grain elevators were the heart of their communities and are slowly disappearing due to age, fire and neglect. Some of the grain elevators shown have already burnt down or were demolished.
