The Heritage Foundation Committee made up of Bob Mummery, Ken Harris and several others had a water wheel installed at the north end of the Fish Pond in August of 2001. Gallus Oherholzer of Erickson, MB, professionally built the wheel. The wheel is made out of tamarack wood, and was installed by John Skoglund Construction of Minnedosa, MB.
The wheel was refurbished, cleaned and varnished in June 2005, and when operating, is an interesting attraction at our Heritage Village. A new custom cover was added in 2012 for winter preservation.
