The Motherwell Homestead National Historic Site is a living history museum in Saskatchewan, Canada, dedicated to showcasing the life and achievements of William Richard Motherwell, a prominent figure in Canadian agriculture. Here's a glimpse of what you can experience at Motherwell Homestead National Historic Site:

  • History: Developed between 1882 and 1939, the site encompasses a 3.59-hectare farmstead with fields, agricultural buildings, and a two-story stone farmhouse named Lanark Place, modeled after similar homesteads in Ontario. Motherwell served as Saskatchewan's first Minister of Agriculture and played a vital role in shaping the province's agricultural development.
  • Living History Experience: The homestead is meticulously restored to reflect its 1907 appearance. Visitors can step back in time and explore the farmhouse, barns, and outbuildings. Staff dressed in period clothing demonstrate chores and activities typical of early 20th-century prairie farms. Livestock like hogs, cows, and chickens are also present on-site, adding to the immersive experience.
  • Seasonal Operation: The Motherwell Homestead National Historic Site operates from late May to early September. During this period, the site offers guided tours, programs, workshops, and special events.
