It also provides structural evidence of the Michelsen family which remains a prominent element in the Stirling district and elsewhere in South-western Alberta. * * * Designation covers "The Andreas Michelsen Farmstead comprised of the Farmhouse, Coal Shed, Barn , Granary, Calving Shed, Machine Shed, Corrals and Pens, Dugout, Storage Cellar, Landscape Elements (gardens and trees), Cistern and Filter, and Outhouse, together with the land".
