Store/Meat Market

STORE/MEAT MARKET
BUILT IN 1920'S

This store first belonged to George Mowbray, a settler from Durham, England who came to Canada by way of the United States. He moved to the Rimbey area and set up Mowbray's Meat Market, the first butcher shop in the area. George Mowbray bought animals for slaughter from local farms. After his death, the store was sold to Jack Parry, who added a grocery store to the meat market. The store was used by various businesses before being moved to the park in 1975 when it was donated by Roy and Lloyd Barberree and was refurbished and stocked as a country store.
