About the Nanton Livery Stable and Veterinary Practice

NEW Interpretation at Nanton Livery Stable and Veterinary Practice

Step back in time at the Nanton Livery Stable and Veterinary Practice, where a new exhibit explores the fascinating world of early veterinary care. Discover the challenges vets faced treating diseases at the turn of the century, and gain a rare glimpse into the medical practices that helped shape the history of animal care.

The History of the Nanton Livery Stable and Veterinary Practice

Henry Winsor built his livery stable in the town of Nanton, Alberta, in about 1905. Since then, the barn has served as a taxi stand, a truck depot, and as shelter for an ill-fated pumice business.

With the help of a generous donation from the Rotary Club in celebration of Canada’s centennial, Heritage Park acquired the barn in 1966. After the barn was relocated to the Park, it underwent extensive restorations, including a new roof and a new floor for the hayloft.

Since its opening in 1967, the Enterprise Livery Barn has been used to stable Heritage Park’s horses and display carriage exhibits. In 1997 and 1998, the barn’s foundation was stabilized, and the roof, cladding, and floor were replaced.
