Homestead Art Programs

Art and photography workshops are planned through out the summer. Other topics that may take place are; Painting in Acrylics, Watercolor Painting, Birding & Nature appreciation, and others if there is an interest. If you or someone you know are interested in any of these please contact a board member.

McNaught 1912 Log House Project

The old log house needed a proper foundation! The Homestead Preservation Society applied to the Alberta Heritage Preservation Partnership Program for funding assistance. We learned we will receive approximately $25,00 toward the $62,00 cost of the project. This includes moving the house, foundation construction, repairs and leveling the house before moving to the new foundation. It should be completed by early, mid-October. If you would like to help to pay toward this project please contact Peter Martin at 780-354-2864.
