A beautifully restored 1901 stone church in Balgonie, Saskatchewan. It was used as a church until 1973 when the church moved to a newer building nearby. The stone church was renovated into a seniors centre and later into a daycare. After the daycare closed the Town acquired the church and assisted with the renovation efforts.
When we stopped in the town in mid-January 2019, we were lucky that a town employee had stopped at the church to check things over and graciously let us come inside to see the interior. He himself has helped with the work inside the church and he gave us a tour - we thanked him for his contributions on preserving prairie history before we continued on our way. If you are in the area, it is definitely worth a few minutes of your time!
