The 2011 Annual Heritage Day festivities were a total blast. The crowds were huge and once again the volunteers came through in spectacular fashion. And, once again, people were astounded by the old-time threshing machine that we had operating. Add to that the antique tractor displays and parade and it was a truly great day.
The 15th Annual Heritage Day Celebration will be presented on the same weekend as Beausejour's Centennial Celebration.

Established in 1967, the Pioneer Village Museum
recreates a small pioneer village. It contains a log house, school,
community hall, Canadian Pacific Railway Station, store, blacksmith shop
and a Ukrainian Church with a bell tower. Most of the pioneers of this
region were of Polish, Ukrainian, or German descent coming from the
areas known as Galicia and Volhynia. These pioneers had to face many
hardships in carving out the wilderness and learning to adapt to a new
country and a new way of life. Many artifacts depicting the lifestyle of
the early pioneers of the surrounding area are located in these
buildings.
Hours of operation for July and August are 8:30 -
4:30 p.m. on weekdays and 1:00 - 5:00 p.m. on weekends and holidays. Off
