The Murtoa grain store was constructed in 1941 as a solution for grain storage during the World War 2 wheat glut. It was built from 560 unmilled poles or sticks (56 rows of 10) which supported the corrugated iron roof and was soo dubbed the "Stick Shed". The shed is about 270 metres long, 60 metres wide and about 19 metres high along the ridge. It held 92, 500 tonnes of wheat. It is the only one of its type still standing in Victoria. The shed was closed in 1989 but the heritage of this unique structure was recognised. It is included on the Victorian Heritage Register and the National Heritage List.
