An open house at the Ukrainian Heritage Village Museum is set for this Sunday. 

The museum, located on the Selo Ukraina site south of Dauphin, includes numerous restored buildings such as pioneer log homes, a church, a school, a community hall, and a shoe shop. 

Selo Ukraina board chair Jim Perchaluk says they continue to add on to the site.

"It has been growing for the past 25-35 years and more recently we have added a general store and a blacksmith shop.  And later this summer we plan to open a teacherage that belongs with the school."

There are also several agricultural buildings and pieces of machinery on site, and Perchaluk says plans are in the works to build an agricultural display on the site. 

"We are always looking to improve our museum.  We looked around and we had some older antique equipment, and looking at the rich agricultural history of Dauphin, which grew around the agricultural industry, and we realized that we do not have a permanent display.  So we certainly want to address that shortly."

The open house goes from 1-4 on Sunday and will include free hot dogs and refreshments, along with entertainment and tours of the museum.
