The Motherwell Homestead is a National Historic Site of Canada, situated just south of the community of Abernethy in Saskatchewan. This site is a significant landmark that commemorates the life and achievements of William Richard Motherwell, who was Saskatchewan's first minister of agriculture and federal minister of agriculture for the Mackenzie King government.
Architecture of Lanark Place
The homestead's fieldstone house, known as Lanark Place, is named after Motherwell's previous home in Ontario. The design of this house is modelled after similar farmsteads built in Ontario, providing a glimpse into the architectural style of that period.
