Welcome to the Spruce Grove & District Agricultural Society website! The Agricultural Society is a non-profit organization that was formed in 1972 to support the agriculture, horticulture, homemaking and quality of life in community. When the grain elevator was marked for demolition, the Ag Society stepped in to preserve it as a working museum. Since 1995, several thousand visitors have toured the Elevator.

The Ag Society, a group of dedicated volunteer members, has been instrumental in contributing to the community, beginning with the construction of the Agrena, and hosting the annual AgraFair. This event has grown to become Western Canada’s largest Agricultural Fair.

In 2011, over 2000 visitors from around the world and Canada visited the Grain Elevator Museum, Archives, and Farmers' Market. The Society also hosts educational programs for schools, known as "Origines of our Community".  The Agricultural Society sponsors the Indoor Farmers' Market and the Archives and also sponsors two students to attend the annual ACCA Youth Program.

Several annual fundraising events such as The Flap Jacks at the Tracks, Corn Roast & Kids Carnival, and Harvest Festival are also hosted by the Society and are popular among community members and visitors. Events hosted at the site are for the purpose of raising funds to support ongoing maintenance, programming and promotions for the Agricultural Society. 

The Ag Society goals are to ensure that they keep alive the history of the community both for the present and future generation.

The Ag Society accomplished projects during 2011 and 2012:
Rrestoration of the old Spruce Grove Water Tower that served citizens until 1972,
painting/restoration of the wooden Grain Elevator Museum.

The Spruce Grove & District Agricultural Society's long term goal is to build an Elevator Emporium, a building which will serve as a major tourist and heritage facility for the City of Spruce Grove The building will be constructed on the elevator site and it will resemble a period train station. It will house the Farmers' Market, the Spruce Grove Archives, the Museum, a Café, a Gift Shop and a Conference Room. Not only will this centre serve visitors and tourists, but can also be used as a facility for community groups.

Events hosted at the site are for the purpose of raising funds to support ongoing maintenance of the water tower and the elevator museum. Volunteers and society members work tirelessly for the organization, contributing significantly to cultural and historical programs offered in this community, but our success depends greatly on the generous support of local organizations, businesses and people like you. Together, we can make this world class tourist and educational destination for City of Spruce Grove.



Presently, we are looking for financial support, donations to build an emporium. With your help, we can make this a viable, world-class tourist and educational destination.
