Hardy Mountain Doukhobor Village is the remains of the historic Makortoff Doukhobor Village. Covering 16.9 acres on a knoll overlooking the junction of the Kettle and Granby River valleys, it is located one kilometer west of Grand Forks, British Columbia.[1]

History

The site was constructed in 1912. The homes built by the Doukhobor people are based on the same design brought with to Canada in 1899. The structure is a two-story structure. The kitchen and dining room are on the main floor, with small bedrooms on the second floor. The Doukabors grew most of their own food for a vegetarian diet. The village were self-sufficient, and everything made by hand. Economic times forced the closure and sale of the villages and their associated lands.[1]

Proprietors

The Land Conservancy owns the site in trust for the people of British Columbia. This historic site has been re-opened to the public.[1]
