The usually quiet Wasyl and Anna Negrych Ukrainian Pioneer Homestead 1897 northeast of Gilbert Plains, Man., was a beehive of hands-on learning and local farming history lessons June 2.
Students from the Mountain View School Division along with teachers and chaperones experienced the 4 1/2 hour local agricultural history lesson provided by the Gilbert Plains and District Historical Society with help from the Dauphin Heritage Club.
The historical society has been hosting the one-day event for more than 20 years.
