A very large erratic left behind by a retreating glacier, with a mural showing 12 Doukhobor women pulling a plough, while a man guides the plough. The erratic is located near the Doukhobor Caves historic site, where settlers lived during their first year or two in Saskatchewan.

This large stone - called a glacial erratic - sits at the edge of a farmer's field, and close to the Doukhobor Caves, a National Historic Site. Doukhobor settlers lived in dug out caves on the side of the North Saskatchewan River Valley for a year or two until they could build a house. The mural depicts Doukhobor women pulling a plough, while a man at the back supervises.
