While placing this cache we spotted a benchmark. I have added it to the additional waypoints if you are interested in logging it.

This tranquil National and Provincial Heritage Site lies just 20 minutes north of Dauphin, but it will take you back over a century in time. The site and museum honours the first Ukrainian Catholic Liturgy held in Canada in 1897, and is home to the oldest preserved Ukrainian Catholic church in Canada – St.Michael’s Ukrainian Catholic Church.  Originally a wooden cross was built at the site to commemorate the pioneers’ freedom in a new land. Today, a granite cross stands in its place to mark the first Cross of Freedom in Canada, in addition to monuments, pioneer homes, and Trembowla School. A grotto was erected in 2002 to honour Nykyta Budka, the first Ukrainian Catholic Bishop in Canada. An annual Moleben Service Honouring Pioneers is held there each August on the Sunday of Canada’s National Ukrainian Festival.
