Bell Farm
Bell Farm is a heritage farm built in 1882 by Major Bell on ten miles square or 60,000 acres at Indian Head. The Bell Farm Barn is amongst the ten top most endangered sites by the Heritage Canada Foundation.sp The round structure consisted of a silo which could be used also as a lookout tower. The silo had a capacity of 4,000 bushels of oats and 100 tons of hay. The surrounding area could house 36 horse and an office. Having the silo centrally located greatly reduced labour involved in livestock feeding and resulted in a stronger facility than the rectangular structures. The first settlers moved into the district in 1882, a few months ahead of the Canadian Pacific Railway. The farming operations were so huge and out of the ordinary that, on many occasions, the passenger trains would stop and let the passengers watch the harvesting operation becoming the area's first tourist attraction. Bell Farm The Bell Farm once occupied the surrounding district. It was controlled by the Qu'Appelle Valley farming company and managed by Major William R. Bell. Between 1882 and 1889 the company settled more than 100 tenant farmers on 53,000 acres. Farming was attempted on such a large scale that 45 binders were sometimes seen harvesting a single field. In 1883 the company secured and sub-divided the town site of Indian Head. The farm lost heavily due to severe frost and drought. Its operations were almost completely suspend during the rebellion of 1885. A total area of 40,000 acres was eventually sold to the Brassey Colonization company. Major Bell bought the rest and farmed it or several years. The round stone stable of the Bell Farm stands two miles north on No. 56 highway. The Dominion Experimental arm, one mile east was once part of the farm.
