just north of town on Hwy 56, features the central silo of many round barns. This one could store 100 tons of hay, had bins for 4,000 bushels of oats, and also had an office. The history of Bell Farm, a "Bonanza" farm which was a whopping 53,000 acres, is quite an interesting one. It can be found here: http://www.thebarnjournal.org/featured/015/ Update - Jun 30/06: a Regina Leader Post article today mentions that the barn is on Heritage Canada Foundation's most endangered places list. There are plans afoot to save the structure, & to have the barn designated as a national historic site. Apparently, there are only 6 stone barns left in the province.
