Tuesday Tidbits Part 2 Of Our Dauphin Trip

 

First off let me say that the heat dome has settled it's northern border upon us. Once again it feels like walking into a hot brick wall when you leave the house. I only do a bit outside at a time, making just a few trips to pick a couple of things and a drive to get the mail and hand in our emergency contact numbers to the travel agent. That took enough out of me. I did do my walk early in the morning and I am so glad that I got out early.

On the way home from Dauphin, we stopped at the Ukrainian Heritage Village. Once again lots of old buildings (however there was actually one I remember seeing in the small town of Hyas). The Ukrainian people of Dauphin started moving buildings on the site about 15 years ago. In the same place they have the Canadian gathering of Ukrainian people every year, and from the looks of the parking, camping area, and stadium this is a huge gathering.

On with a few pictures from the site.

They had moved this Ukrainian Orthodox Church on site as one of their first. It was lovely to go through (we got in this one).

It was very interesting to see the separation between the congregation and priest.

This is the sign that greeted us as we started our tour of the heritage site.

The general store with some very old catalogues.

The shoe maker/repair shop. It was really interesting to see the unique machines that were used.

Clothing that was many generations old. I can remember my Ukrainian friend wearing many outfits that were hand embroidered by her mother in many of these patterns. Gorgeous needlework.

Most of the houses that were set up as homes belonging to Ukrainian settlers had lovely spinning wheels, but one had this very unique oven.

Everybody have a wonderful evening. 

God bless.
