Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Village

Where History Comes Alive!

Why Go?
The region is home to Canada’s premier Ukrainian cultural attraction, the Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Village. The history of Ukrainians in Alberta stretches back 130 years when the first Ukrainians to Canada settled in the Edna-Star region (north of Lamont). The story of early Ukrainian settlement and culture is brought to life at the Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Village, where visitors can explore historic buildings and chat with first-person interpreters and tour guides.

Operated by Alberta Culture and Tourism, the Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Village is located 25 minutes east of Edmonton on Highway 16 (just 3 km east of Elk Island National Park). Admission is charged. Show your current Experience Alberta’s History pass or Friends of the Ukrainian Village Society membership card and get in free!

To get a more in-depth lesson on Ukrainian heritage, programs and tours are available for schools, summer groups, personal groups, and corporate events. Don’t forget to check out their event calendar to see what’s planned for the summer!
