"1898 - 1962
"The original school, 18 ft. by 28 ft., was built on S.W. 7-4-28 at a cost of five hundred and eight dollars. In 1900 it was moved to S.W. 2-4-29 and moved again in 1918 to S.E. 11-4-29. Fire demolished this building on April 16, 1937."That fall, a new, more modern school was built and used for educational and social functions. It went under a municipal board in 1956 and closed in 1962. Forty-two teachers taught the many children of the area."We dedicate this cairn, in loving memory, to the pioneers of the district, the trustees, parents. teachers, pupils and all who helped in any way over the years."

"St. Michael's Ukrainian Orthodox Church"St. Michael's Orthodox Church consecrated October 14, 1899, was the first permanent Ukrainian church erected in Canada. Until the parish joined the Greek-Orthodox Church of Canada in 1922, it was served by a Russian Orthodox Mission."The church was built by immigrants from northern Bukowyna, now the western Ukraine, who settled the Gardenton area after 1896. Measuring 48'x22'x33', the structure exemplified Bukowynian pioneer craftsmanship in architecture, interior decoration and religious furnishing. St. Michael's served as a focal point of spiritual and cultural life in the first Ukrainian settlement in Manitoba and remains a symbol of the continuity of the Ukrainian identity in Canada."The Historic Sites Advisory Board of Manitoba"
