Our new exhibit presents
many archival photographs previously unseen, from the decision
in Saskatchewan to the early settlement in British Columbia.
One cabinet and wall is devoted to Peter V. Verigin, featuring
many historical photos and personal possessions. In addition
to the archival photographs, specific notes and bulletins
provide the entire history of the Doukhobor pioneering presence
from 1908 to the demise of the CCUB in 1938. |
The
Doukhobor Discovery is pleased to take advantage of an opportunity
to continue our exhibits of significant events, seek out rare
photographs and restore and add these photos in this display.
A highlight of our opening was the unveiling of a plaque commemorating
the Doukhobor Suspension Bridge as a National Historic Site,
and this plaque is now on display on our grounds, pending
removal to a restored bridge.
Right,
the plaque commemorating the Doukhobor Suspension Bridge
is now temporarily sitting next to our Tolstoy statue,
awaiting its permanent home at a restored Doukhobor
Suspension Bridge |
