The McNaught homestead, original home of the well-known Canadian artist, Euphemia (Betty) McNaught, is a provincially designated historical site near Beaverlodge, Alberta. Beyond the farmyard, I walked along a trail of nostalgia, where scattered farm machinery of a bygone age was partly hidden by new growth. In a distant field, I could hear the hum of modern farm machinery where engines have replaced horses, and life goes merrily on.
