The center of town was marked with a stone and a plaque commemorating the people who built their first store and Post Office in this place back in 1910. An elevator and a large lumberyard followed in 1920. The Grand Trunk Railway even built them a new station in 1925 but the last building in Winter closed in 1968 leaving nothing but a grassy field along with the original sign from the depot that was once the heart of the community.

It’s a great modelling feature if you can be happy building a large expanse of grass with a huge stone in the middle.
