The exhibit New Home in the West is dedicated to Canada's Ukrainian
pioneers. A traditional thatch-roofed house and part of an actual, 1920s-era
house with verandah evoke an image of the first decades of the 20th century.
These two structures represent the building styles of the settlers' first
and second permanent dwellings. They are set on the canvas of two murals
painted by Windy Scott-Hanson of Stony Plain. An array of early pioneer
artifacts and Ukrainian costumes helps to illustrate the Ukrainian immigration
story. Photos and stories about local families create a colourful walk
through the past.
(Opened in 1997.)
