10. Satterthwaite Log Cabin The original cabin built along the historic Burrows Trail about 1895 served as a staging area for travellers. The half-lap dovetail construction method exemplifies building techniques popular in the area. The timber came from the quarter section to the west and tells of the wealth of the forest cover before the turn of the century. The cabin was dismantled and copied in detail in 1994 and officially opened in 1995. Evidence of the Trail to the southeast across todays #5 highway can be clearly seen through the hardwoods. Open Sat. 11AM - 4PM, June - August. |
11. Royal Oak Cairn A cairn bearing the replica of the cement block schoolhouse and "appendages" which was the district education centre from 1906 to 1956. The forest cover of the nearby Riding Mountain National Park reminds us of the dense forest clearing done by the pioneers of the district. |
