McNaught 1912 Log House Project
McNaught House circa 1915  McNaught House 2018
The old log house needs a proper foundation! The Homestead Society has applied to the Alberta Heritage Preservation Partnership Program for funding assistance with this expensive project and we must match any grant funding received.
We will be campaigning to raise private and corporate funds to assist with this project. If you can help us with this badly needed project please fill out and return the form at the end of the newsletter (2023 Issue Eighteen) or contact one of the Directors.
