Posted by blackhawk That church looks creepy and hollowed out. I'm feeling that vibe. Always fun to be alone in a place like that. it always amazes how many houses are abandoned up there. Anyone know what killed this small village? Corporate co-ops kill a lot down here.

The church is about 92 years old and was built by Ukrainian settlers who came to this area way back when. There are still a lot of smaller towns out there but it seems like it's now just the older generation left and all the younger folks are moving in closer to the cities.
I've been quite amazed at how many of these types of churches are actually out there within 60-90 mins of the major centre here. The communities, at one day, must have been thriving.
Apparently they moved this Church onto a new foundation last December and were working towards restoring it but windows are still boards and it didn't look like there was much going on for restoration when I was there.
