Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Village
The Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Village is an award-winning,
open-air museum that depicts the history of east central
Alberta by telling the story of Ukrainian immigrants who
settled in this region to 1930 (1892-1930). Over thirty historic
structures have been relocated to the museum, restored and
furnished to a pre-1930 period, then staffed by costumed
role-players who re-enact the historic routines and activities
associated with that household, institution or business.
