Doukhobor Heritage
DOUKHOBOR HERITAGE
In 1899 a group of Doukhobors from
Russia established the first village
of Kirkilovka, 1/2 mile west of here,
the second village of Bogdanovka,
5 miles north-west and the third
village of Pokrovka, 11 miles west.
These settlers, seeking religious
freedom, thrived despite severe
hardships, deprivations and cold.
This plaque is dedicated to the
first pioneers and erected by the
DOUKHOBOR SOCIETY OF
LANGHAM.
