The Maday Home, above left, now resides at the Alberta Heritage Exposition Park. To the left is a view of the kichen, above, the living room. Terry Knull provides the following information about the house:
The Maday house was originally located approximately 30 miles West of Leduc, or 2 miles East and 1 ½ miles South of Genesee. Mike Maday bought the quarter from the CPR for $25.00 in 1931. He logged the quarter then squared them and built the house.
In 1933 he married Bessie Kashmer from the Calmar district, and move into the new home. They had 3 children, and in 1952 Mike passed away. Bessie stayed on the farm and raised the 3 in this house. She sold the farm to her daughter in 1968 but continued to live in the house for several years before retiring to Warburg.
The porch, dividing wall and ceiling are additions to the original home.
