Motherwell Homestead, Historical farmstead near Abernethy, Canada.

Motherwell Homestead is a 3.59-hectare farmstead south of Abernethy whose fieldstone house, Lanark Place, is named after William Richard Motherwell's earlier Ontario home and built on the model of Ontario farmsteads. Fenced fields, shelter-belt shrub and tree lines, and agricultural buildings surround the house, which is ringed by a shelter belt.

The site commemorates William Richard Motherwell, Saskatchewan's first minister of agriculture and later federal minister of agriculture under Mackenzie King. The fieldstone house, named Lanark Place after his previous Ontario home, follows Ontario farmstead models. The house, barn and outbuildings have been restored to their 1907 appearance.

The site shows how people farmed in the early 1900s through demonstrations and the care of animals using methods from that time period. Visitors can observe the daily routines and techniques that settlers relied on to survive on the prairie.

Visitors can explore the restored buildings and learn about farm history through guided tours and demonstrations. It helps to allow time for walking through the different areas and buildings to get a full sense of how the farmstead operated.

The grounds are divided into sections serving different functions, including a water system with a dugout reservoir for collecting rainfall. This practical approach shows how settlers managed the scarce water resources of the prairie.
