The Heart Of The Congregation

 St. Onuphrius is always a spot in the Museum I must stop to take in. The details are amazing, and even as a museum artifact, the church has a life of its own.


You can walk around it outside, with exhibits on the surrounding walls that curve around the church.


Immigrants came to settle the West. It was a hard life to live. Some made a life of it, and others gave up.


Schooling in the West was deemed important- both at the local level and at the governmental level. One-room schoolhouses were typical of the era.

    I suspect if I were to visit this museum, I would spend a great deal of time in this area and in this church. Your photos are terrific. It's so very beautiful -- yet simple, too. Lovely post.

    Hey, I know about those one room rural schools. I spent 9 years in one and my first year teaching was in a one room rural school.
