Tyndall

The grain elevator in Tyndall, Manitoba

The town of Tyndall, Manitoba had a single grain elevator. This elevator was built in the early 1950s to replace the original Tyndall grain elevator, built by the Lake of the Woods in 1920. In 1960 an annex was added and it became a Manitoba Pool elevator. It became privately owned in 1971.

There was a Facebook group devoted to saving this elevator. Attempts were made to raise money to move the elevator to nearby Beasejour to join the Pioneer Village Museum there; however, this effort failed and the elevator was demolished on April 29, 2022 at 5:54 PM. The office was saved and will be relocated to the Pioneer Village Museum.
