Why this spot

1899-1972 Ukrainian immigrant farm village

Rural hub settled around 1899 largely by Ukrainian immigrants from Galicia, with a Ukrainian Catholic church, general store and post office, a livery, creamery, saloon and blacksmith. The store closed in 1972 and the town was officially abandoned; its last building was moved to Dickinson in 1984.View source →
