Angusville is a small community in the Canadian province of Manitoba, located in the Rural Municipality of Silver Creek. It was named after a pioneer family with the surname Angus. == Heritage == Angusville has a rich history in prairie settlement. Within the town there are Manitoba Heritage Buildings that commemorate this fact. It looks very much like a house, the formal arrangement of front porch with a symmetrically placed door flanked by windows, the only suggestion of its more honoured position: the seat of local government. Built in 1938, this was the rural municipality's building, the site of council meetings and offices and also of a vault and jail situated in the basement. The building's official function ceased in 1971, when it was purchased by a credit union. Today the building serves as the Angusville and District Museum. The Angusville Ukrainian People’s Home of Ivan Franko was constructed in 1934 by members of the Ukrainian community of Angusville and surrounding areas. Ukrainian National Home societies were central to the maintenance of Ukrainian communities throughout Manitoba. The members of such organizations established theatrical groups, choirs, reading and political discussion clubs and sponsored a variety of other cultural and social activities. The society halls or "national homes" as they were better known, were constructed to showcase society events. The society names were usually selected to commemorate important individuals in Ukrainian history, in this case a well-known poet. The Angusville Ukrainian People’s Home of Ivan Franko is adorned with three domes or banyas, of the type more typically seen in Ukrainian church architecture. Only a few national homes in Manitoba possess this feature. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Angusville, Manitoba」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
