Ukrainian settlers in the south Riding Mountain area were quick to establish a thriving community. A church was the first priority, but a school was quickly added. Called Horod, and built in 1906, this school is a remarkable survivor in Manitoba. It is not only a fine example of the kind of modest buildings that were being erected all over the southern half of the province, but the site still contains the original teacherage and privies. Teacherages were once common additions to local school plants, providing on-site living quarters. The school has been lovingly restored by the pioneers’ descendants and is now used as a museum.
