Historic Sites of Manitoba: Woodmore Cemetery / Holy Ghost Ukrainian Catholic Cemetery (Municipality of Emerson-Franklin)

This cemetery in the Rural Municipality of Franklin was established in 1909. Built in 1938, the Plankey Plains Holy Ghost Ukrainian Catholic Church building used to inhabit this site as well. It was later moved to the St. Joseph Museum; however, its stone front steps remain on the original site.
