Ogilvie Wooden Grain Elevator Society

The Ogilvie Wooden Grain Elevator Society (OWGES) is looking for new Society members, and donations in our goal of restoring the 1925 Ogilvie grain elevator, the last Ogilvie marked grain elevator in the province of Alberta!

OWGES plans to restore the elevator with some essential architectural /structural improvements to allow it to withstand the tests of time! The interior of the elevator is in reasonable shape and offers the opportunity for a rare glimpse inside the inner-workings of a prairie icon.

The current owner of the elevator has donated this landmark to our society for a tax receipt. Our Society is a registered non-profit with the Province of Alberta and also a registered charity with the Canadian Revenue Agency. To our knowledge, this is the last remaining wooden Ogilvie grain elevator left in Alberta!
