The Town of Stonewall, Manitoba, officially started the second phase of a project to restore and upgrade the historic limestone kilns at Quarry Park on March 16, 2026. This work is part of an ongoing effort to preserve the local industrial history while making the park a better destination for both residents and tourists.
The town council previously committed $1 million to the Save the Kilns initiative to fix three structures located at the park. These kilns were a major part of the local limestone industry for over 60 years and were used to process high-quality stone.
This preservation work became more urgent after officials had to tear down one of the historic kilns in 2022 because it was no longer safe. The current project aims to stabilize the remaining structures so they can be enjoyed as a historical landmark and educational site for years to come.
