Learning To Make Pierogies At Edmonton's Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Village

Just for you: "6 Simple Steps To Starting A Profitable Travel Blog [Free Class]" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8lfNZD-22M8 --~-- I'm usually not a museum person, but the immersive Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Village in Edmonton is worth the trip in itself. The living village features over 40 buildings dating back to before 1930 when Canada saw their first major wave of Ukrainian immigration. Almost all the buildings are original, and costume interpreters play actual Ukrainian immigrants -- as in, real people they extensively researched -- and do not break character for anything. While wandering through a sod house from 1900, a grocery store from 1929 and a hotel from 1929 (rooms were $1 per night then) I truly felt like I'd gone back in time. Another highlight: learning to make pierogies (pyrophy) with the women. Interestingly, the fillings depended on what was available, so there is no "traditional" filling. While one woman made hers with potato and dill, another added blueberries. Yum! What are your favorite Edmonton experiences?
