St. Elijah Pioneer Museum - St. Elijah Pioneer Museum
The St. Elijah Pioneer Museum began in 1979 as St. Elie (1908) Pioneer Church Museum. The organization was headed by a committee of four - Peter Gaber, Pres.; Andrew Onofreichuk and William Gallant, Directors; and Mary Gabor, Secretary. Their first task was to restore the abandoned wooden church built in 1908. The work was completed in 1983 and the church was declared a Provincial Heritage Site.
Three of the original founders of the museum organization are now deceased and another has moved away. A new administration took over the operation of the museum, consisting of Barry Sawchuk, Pres.; Diane Ungarian, Secretary, plus a number of committee members. In 1992, the new committee assumed the task of restoring the former Ion Paulencu Bucovinian style cottage and the pioneer cemetery. These projects were completed in time for the 100th anniversary of the St. Elijah Parish celebration in 2003.
