The town was settled in the late 1800s and grew rapidly with the Doukhobors’ arrival in 1899. It was, and is, a farming and business hub with many amenities and services. Its historic features include a museum/library in the former train station, a cairn with the original grinding stone from the old Petrofka Flour Mill, painted murals, several churches, and a wheat sheaf monument commemorating the town’s centennial. The Doukhobor Prayer Home on Main Street is a Municipal Heritage Property, designated for its unique classic design and historic community role.
