Recently donated from the Parkbeg area, this house has been fully refurbished inside - it will eventually be surrounded by an entire farmstead. Because wood was scarce in Saskatchewan in 1909 (especially the amount needed for a structure of this size), the lumber had to be sent from the east by rail, then by horse and wagon the 50 miles from Moose Jaw to Parkbeg. You may wonder about the absence of a nursery or children's room in this house; the story goes that there was never a child born here. this was an odd enough thing in the days when families were large, but even stranger was the fact that no kittens, puppies, or other farm animals ever survived on this farm, either.
