11. Historic Site : Swistun Pioneer
Settlement Park
Replica of Original Buddas
Ukrainian Settlement
When the Ukrainian settlers arrived
in 1899, their first homes were small
tent-shaped pole structures covered
with straw, known as buddas.
Michael Swistun, who was born in
a budda in 1900, later constructed
two buddas on the original site next
to the settlement trail and donated
them, along with 80 acres of land, as
a historical site.

13. Marconi School
Marconi School was built in 1922.
The standardized design, produced
by the Department of Education,
was adapted from domestic styles
of the day, which favoured a cottage
look, and the placement of
shingles (rather than horizontal
siding) on the walls. Builder Frank
Kennedy produced a solid building
which, restored in 1992, is used as
a museum.
