North Battleford WDM News:
About the Heritage Farm & Village WDMVisit our Heritage Farm & Village, witness the challenge of turning prairie into productive farmland. The extensive line-up of agricultural equipment, which includes the gigantic 1910 Case 110 tractor, the impressive Wheat Pool grain elevator dominating the village, and the hustle and bustle in the farmyard, remind us of the important role of agriculture in the Story of Saskatchewan. From 10,000 farms in 1900, Saskatchewan grew to some 250,000 farmsteads by 1914. At first, farms were small, often only the 160 acre homestead, and basically self-sufficient. North Battleford's Heritage Farm & Village WDM invites you to experience both farm and village life. The large barn is alive with farm animals. Museum visitors can see how the farmer of the 1920s tilled his fields and planted and harvested his crop. A trip to town is only a walk along the boardwalk. Imagine delivering a load of grain to the elevator, or the train whistle tooting as the engine approaches the station. Visit the Co-op store, one of the many churches, a homes and businesses.
