The National Doukhobor Heritage Village
was officially opened on June 29, 1980. The Doukhobors, a small sect of Russian pacifist dissenters, were persecuted in late nineteenth century Czarist Russia. With the assistance of Count/author Leo Tolstoy and British and American Quakers, more than 7500 Doukhobors emigrated in 1899 to settle in what was to become Saskatchewan. Today there are between 30,000 and 40,000 Doukhobors in Canada, and another 30,000 in Russia. Crafts, tools and photographs depict their life. A second museum at the heritage village is devoted to Tolstoy. It's much shorter on artifacts but fascinating in content. A display of images donated to the museum by the former Soviet Union highlight the life of the great writer as well as his relationship with the Doukhobors.
