government.
The homestead's fieldstone house, called Lanark Place after Motherwell's previous Ontario home, is modelled after similar farmsteads built in Ontario.[3] The homestead is surrounded by a shelter belt.
The 3.59 hectares farmstead, in addition to the main house, includes fields defined by fences and shelter belt shrub and tree lines, and agricultural buildings.[4]
Visitors to the park are immersed in 1907 agriculture. The Motherwell house, barn and
hogs
, cows, and chickens, are on site.
The Friends of the Motherwell Homestead operate a restaurant and gift shop on site.
