The quiet of the museum belies the activity and noise that would be part of such an everyday scene in the past.

Entrance to First Winter's Warmth
The first Ukrainian settlers in Canada often built this type of house if winter was coming and they didn't have time to build a wooden structure. Tight, cramped and dark but it got them through the winter.
