P&H GRAIN

The P&H (Parrish & Heimbecker) Elevator in Stettler was built in the 1920’s. The elevator handled many thousands of tonnes of grain over its many years of service (closing in 2003). The feed mill was added in the late 1940’s and served many farmers in grinding and mixing their livestock feeds. This is one of the last elevator/feed mill complexes left in Alberta.
