History <strong>of</strong> <strong>Dauphin</strong><br />
With so many cultures woven<br />
together to form a colourful and<br />
vibrant community, we invite you to<br />
discover the rich tapestry <strong>of</strong> history<br />
<strong>Dauphin</strong> <strong>of</strong>fers.<br />
Lake <strong>Dauphin</strong> was founded in 1739<br />
by Francois de la Verendrye, who<br />
named it after the oldest son <strong>of</strong> the<br />
King <strong>of</strong> France. Established as a furtrading<br />
post, “Fort <strong>Dauphin</strong>” is now a<br />
charming city that extends across the<br />
prairie lands<strong>ca</strong>pe just to the east <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Vermillion River. Growing numbers <strong>of</strong><br />
fur traders in the 1800’s helped spread<br />
word about fertile land surrounding<br />
Lake <strong>Dauphin</strong>. With visions <strong>of</strong> wealth<br />
and freedom, the first frontier settlers<br />
<strong>of</strong> Scottish and English descent moved<br />
to the valley. Sawmills, flour mills<br />
and trading posts sprang up along the<br />
Vermillion River, Wilson River and the<br />
mouth <strong>of</strong> the Valley River.<br />

first settled by people from the British<br />
Isles, immigrants soon arrived from<br />
Germany, Central Europe and, most<br />
notably, the Ukraine. <strong>Dauphin</strong> quickly<br />
emerged as the main trading centre in<br />
central Western Manitoba. Settlements<br />
began to emerge in the 1880’s;<br />
Gartmore (approximately two miles<br />
southwest <strong>of</strong> the present <strong>City</strong>) and<br />
Old <strong>Dauphin</strong> (two miles northeast <strong>of</strong><br />
the <strong>City</strong>). The advent <strong>of</strong> the railway<br />
resulted in the establishment <strong>of</strong><br />

and Old <strong>Dauphin</strong>.<br />

War I hero Lieutenant-Colonel W.G.<br />
(Billy) Barker V.C. whom the <strong>Dauphin</strong><br />
Airport was named after in 1998.<br />
<strong>Dauphin</strong> was incorporated as a<br />
Village in 1898, as a Town in 1901<br />

A Labour <strong>of</strong> Love<br />
Ukrainian settlers first began to arrive to <strong>Dauphin</strong> in the 1920’s and 30’s.<br />
As <strong>Dauphin</strong>’s Ukrainian population grew the need for a larger church where<br />
worshippers could congregate arose. So it was that the Historic Ukrainian<br />
Catholic Church <strong>of</strong> the Resurrection was designed by Father Philip Ruh, and<br />
built by a dedi<strong>ca</strong>ted group <strong>of</strong> volunteers between 1936 and 1939. Men,<br />
women and children gladly contributed money and time to construct the<br />
beautiful church. They hauled gravel and wood, mixed cement, did <strong>ca</strong>rpentry<br />
and masonry. The women would also prepare hot lunches for the workers<br />
and organized fundraising events such as bazaars, picnics and box socials.<br />
The magnificent painting <strong>of</strong> the church interior was not done until 1957 by a<br />
man named Theodore Baran. The iconographer from Saskatoon hand painted<br />
the entire church interior. In 1990 when the Ukrainian Catholic Church’s congregation<br />
was it its largest the parish decided to undertake construction <strong>of</strong><br />
a new church. The majority <strong>of</strong> the parishioners had wished to tear down the<br />
current church but a small group <strong>of</strong> committed volunteers stood up for the<br />
church they knew would one day become an important part <strong>of</strong> their history.<br />
After they had voiced their concerns, land just across the street was chosen<br />
instead for the new church. This National and Provincial heritage site stands<br />
today only be<strong>ca</strong>use <strong>of</strong> the devotion <strong>of</strong> its volunteers.<br />

Legend Has It…<br />
The Angel<br />
near Sifton<br />
Danylshen, the only son <strong>of</strong> the Luchuk family, had bought land in the Sifton area in<br />
the early 1900’s. Shortly thereafter, Anna, a young school teacher from Italy moved<br />
to the area. They fell in love and were married. The following July, Luchuk’s true love<br />
and their unborn child died during child birth. To honor her, he had a marble angel (as<br />
pictured above) sent from Italy to be set on her grave. Times were tight during the period<br />
and when the angel arrived he did not have enough money to pay for it. However,<br />
be<strong>ca</strong>use <strong>of</strong> the weight <strong>of</strong> the angel, it was easier for the shipping company to leave the<br />
angel behind rather than send it back to Italy. To this day, many orange lilies grow wild<br />
around the angel and every July a single white lily appears on her grave. It is believed<br />
that it is put there by her loving husband. (map R8) N51°18’23.5” W100°16’54.0<br />

dear diary<br />
Dear Diary<br />
We had so much fun in <strong>Dauphin</strong> on our family trip last year, that Mom and Dad decided that we<br />
should go for a whole week this year! I was so excited to go back to some <strong>of</strong> the places<br />
we saw last year, and to see some new things.<br />
DAY 1 It was the last day <strong>of</strong> school before summer holidays, and we hit the road as soon<br />
as school let out. <strong>Dauphin</strong> isn’t far away so we were able to get there in time for supper and<br />
check into our <strong>ca</strong>mpsite in Vermillion Park. We visited the park last year so I couldn’t wait<br />
to stay there in our <strong>ca</strong>mper!<br />
DAY 2 There is so much to do in <strong>Dauphin</strong>! This weekend we were lucky be<strong>ca</strong>use the<br />
<strong>Dauphin</strong> Fair is going on, and there is even a parade! We went to the midway and I rode on the<br />
merry-go-round, ate cotton <strong>ca</strong>ndy, and then got to watch a horse show and pet all kinds <strong>of</strong><br />
animals. Did you know that baby goats are <strong>ca</strong>lled kids, too?<br />
DAY 3 Mom was on the lookout for Brooks & Dunn all day. They are her favorite country<br />
singers and Mom said they were here for a music festival <strong>ca</strong>lled Countryfest. I like music too,<br />
but Dad and I would rather be on the lookout for wildlife, so we spent the day taking the<br />
Riding Mountain Biosphere Tour. We saw a deer, a moose, and a black bear while were driving but<br />
we also stopped at some interesting places along the way and learned a lot about people<br />
who lived here a long time ago. I always thought that cemeteries were s<strong>ca</strong>ry, but we<br />
visited some during our tour and they are actually kind <strong>of</strong> cool. It is really pretty here!<br />
DAY 4 Today we decided to relax around our <strong>ca</strong>mper and explore Vermillion Park a little more.<br />
The trails were super fun to ride my bike on and Dad said you <strong>ca</strong>n ski on them in the<br />
winter, or even skate on the river. I hope we <strong>ca</strong>n come back someday when there is<br />
snow but for now I am glad I <strong>ca</strong>n swim in the wading pool! Oh, and dad says that Manitoba’s<br />
only indoor wave pool is in <strong>Dauphin</strong>!<br />
DAY 5 Shopping day! We were <strong>ca</strong>mped so close to downtown that we could walk<br />
everywhere! Mom and I bought some clothes, and souvenirs at the National Ukrainian<br />
photos (pens/book): istockphoto.com
Festival Boutique. We also found really neat jewelry and <strong>ca</strong>ndles at the Watson Art Centre, all<br />
handmade by people from the Parkland. While were downtown we had lunch at a yummy<br />
restaurant and spent some time relaxing in a park beside the beautiful train station<br />
(I remember that we went there last year to see the Rail Museum). Even Dad had fun on<br />
shopping day!<br />
DAY 6 Baba means ‘Grandma’ in Ukrainian, and they <strong>ca</strong>n really cook! We had signed<br />
up for an experience <strong>ca</strong>lled Baba’s Bread & Borscht, and we got to make everything with<br />
them. We made a soup <strong>ca</strong>lled borscht and baked bread in an oven made <strong>of</strong> clay, just<br />
like they did in the old days. They even showed us how they make the clay ovens!<br />
At the end <strong>of</strong> the day we ate the borscht we made and got to take our bread home<br />
as a souvenir. It was a fun experience and even though we aren’t Ukrainian, we<br />
all agreed that we have to come to the National Ukrainian Festival someday.<br />
DAY 7 It was our last day in <strong>Dauphin</strong> and there are still so many things we wanted<br />
to see and do. We had already experienced nature, learned about history and culture,<br />
bought souvenirs, and toured the area, but we decided<br />
to pick berries on our way home. There are lots <strong>of</strong><br />
farmers here but I didn’t know that you could also be<br />
a berry farmer or a bee farmer. We picked so many<br />
strawberries, raspberries and saskatoons, I think we<br />
will be eating pie until next year!<br />
I took a lot <strong>of</strong> pictures to remember my trip, but<br />
I <strong>ca</strong>n’t wait to come back to <strong>Dauphin</strong> again. The<br />
people are really friendly and the sun shines a lot!<br />
Maybe next year we <strong>ca</strong>n bring my aunt, uncle<br />
and cousin with us so we <strong>ca</strong>n show them how<br />
much fun <strong>Dauphin</strong> is. There is still so much to<br />
do there, so I had better start my wish list as<br />
soon as we get home!<br />

now separate them, have a similar<br />
shale core that was formed between<br />
60 and 130 million years ago at the<br />
bottom <strong>of</strong> a salt-water sea. When the<br />
sea disappeared the land was lifted<br />

The Ghost <strong>of</strong> Whitewater Lake<br />
During WWII, a Prisoner Of War Camp situated by Whitewater Lake<br />
in the Riding Mountain National Park, was home to 450 German prisoners<br />
who were <strong>ca</strong>ptured in North Afri<strong>ca</strong>. One <strong>of</strong> the prisoners, Max<br />
Neugebauer, was injured while cutting a tree. He was brought to the<br />
<strong>Dauphin</strong> General Hospital where he died several days later. After much<br />
debate his funeral was held at the St. Viator’s Roman Catholic Church<br />
and his remains were interred at the <strong>Dauphin</strong> cemetery. His body was<br />
exhumed in 1970 as all deceased German P.O.W.’s in Canada were<br />
buried in Kitchener. The headstone ended up in a ravine and then at<br />
the Fort <strong>Dauphin</strong> Museum. During the construction <strong>of</strong> the Archeologi<strong>ca</strong>l<br />
Building the headstone disappeared and is believed to be part <strong>of</strong> the<br />
cement footings. If a person believes in ghosts then there would be a<br />
possibility that Max’s ghost might still be around. All <strong>of</strong> his comrades<br />
went back home after the war and Max was left behind to wander the<br />
dance halls on the south side <strong>of</strong> the RMNP that he and his comrades<br />
frequented, as well as the <strong>Dauphin</strong> area where he was laid to rest.
