The Motherwell Homestead national historic site features the iconic Lanark place, a historic stone house. This national historic site is located on a farm near Abernethy, Saskatchewan. Experience land-based living as a homesteader in the 1900s an hour’s drive east of Regina. The fertile land of the Qu’Appelle region was an intersection for many different peoples, including First Nations, Métis, and the waves of new Canadian immigrants.
Developed by W. R. Motherwell from 1882 to 1939, Motherwell Homestead consists of a 3.59 hectare farmstead including fields defined by fences and shelter belt shrub and tree lines, a collection of agricultural buildings, and a two-storey, stone farmhouse historically known as Lanark Place
Open seasonally from May till September. Plan to spend a few hours exploring the Homestead. They have a large modern visitor center with a cafe, tourist information, activities, washrooms and souvenirs. The site does include live animals (chickens, cows, pigs, horses) so the museum is not pet friendly.
