Nanton Alberta is located south of Calgary along Highway 2. Looking much like any other small prairie town, it stands out today in that it’s home to four grain elevators. Perhaps that wouldn’t be so odd some years ago, but now these prairie sentinels are pretty rare and finding even one standing is quite a special treat. Thank goodness someone had the forethought to save them. There are three former commercial grain elevators here and one smaller seed cleaning plant. The former have been saved by a historical society and tours are offered in the summer. The latter I believe is still operating

The latter I believe is still operating and while located nearby it is not part of the exhibit (the date it was built is known).
