We are very proud to have three
municipally designated heritage sites. These buildings are very
special because
in some cases they are all that is left to remind us of the once thriving communities
that were located throughout our municipality.
Tummel
Church was built in 1906, and is the oldest
church in the R. M. that is still
active. Church services
are held every year through July and August, with
United Church Reverend David
Maxwell officiating.
It also
hosts an annual Christmas concert. It is
maintained entirely by volunteers from the
congregation. Across
the road from the church is
the Tummel Deer Park Cemetery, which dates back
to
the turn of the century. Donations for the upkeep
of the church and/or the cemetery would be
appreciated by the community. If you are interested
in giving please contact Gladys at 204-937-4955.
The
only original school building still standing and
in use in the R. M. is the
Cromarty Hall. Through
the years many community events have been held
in it such
as Christmas concerts,
wedding
receptions, dances, community suppers, etc.
The
building style is typical of an early 1900's school,
very few which have
survived through the years. In
the past few years the community has made
several improvements to the
hall, such as
re-shingling and painting. If you would like to
volunteer your time or
make a donation please
call Marie at 204-937-4738.
The Makaroff Hall was built in 1922. It is the only community building still
standing in
what was
once
a thriving village.
The building plans were drawn
by a local resident and the hall was built
entirely by
volunteers from the community. It is still
used for
wedding socials, reunions, meetings, funeral
luncheons, etc. As well, it still
hosts many
community events such as
fall suppers and dances.
In 2007 and 2008 the Roblin Snowmobile Club
held vintage snowmobile derbies from the hall.
In 2006, the Makaroff Community Club made
improvements to the roof and the
kitchen, and in
the summer of 2007 some painting and exterior
renovations were done. If you are
interested
in helping them out financially or would like
to help
at one of the
work bees, please call Arlene at 204-937-4742.
