Nixon Mercantile Co.

We acquired our young lady ( The Canadian Pacific Freight Shed 🚂 from downtown Virden in 1994. ) Believe she was built in ~1883. Since 1994 when my husband purchased the building & moved it to its current location she has served as the workshop for Nixon Builders. The little lady will still be a wood craftsman shop but will also have a storefront. Something new for our girl a heat pump/airconditioner. Isn't she posh?

The Final Spike Tour rolled thru Virden .... so cool. My father was a CNR Station Agent I grew up living on the mainline in Saskatchewan ... the stories I can tell.
Our workshop is the ~1883 built Virden CPR freight shed. We are converting part of it to be our future store.

Happy Canada Day.

In our neck of the woods we have Manitoba Maples - Box Elder - Boxelder Maple - Ash Leaved Maple - Acer Negundo
A fast growing fairly short lived tree native to North America. Growing 35-80ft tall with a trunk diameter of 12-20" & rarely a diameter as large as 3ft across. With a lifespan of 60-75 years but with ideal conditions reaching 100 years.
Often used to make decorative pieces such as bowls, drums, pipestems, dishes, flutes, & prayer sticks. Manitoba Msples can also be tapped for syrup.
