Interesting place. History of Doukhabors is being preserved there.

This was a reproduction Doukhobor village with an excellent history museum and many true artifacts. The Doukhobors were pacifists expelled from Russia who eventually ended up with many settlements in BC Canada. Very interesting story.

Als je er langs komt dan neem je dat mee voor je culturele bagage hoewel de entreeprijs niet gering is. In een 1/2 uur heb je het ook wel gezien
