Sheleski Family Haying at Mount Cartier, circa 1950

A grey-scale photograph of a family haying. The horse is pulling a cart behind it full of hay, with a woman sitting on top and a man standing on top behind her. To the right is a woman with a pitchfork full of hay.

Revelstoke Museum and Archives photograph 7346.

Walter and Daisy Sheleski are on the hay wagon, with Walter’s mother, Anna Sheleski, standing in the field.

Most of the families at Mount Cartier had 20 to 40-acre parcels of land where they grew hay, grains, and vegetables.
