Construction could begin by this fall on a permanent ag heritage building at the Ukrainian Heritage Village, south of Dauphin.
The 40 by 100 foot building could be open by next syummer, and would be home to antique farm machinery and tools, with accompanying audio and video displays.
Fundraising for the $230,000 project began over two years ago, with $223,000 raised to date.
Jim Perchaluk says they will be looking to local farmers interested in donating towards the final amount needed for the project.
"We are opening the door to personal donations. If there are farmers in the area, or people that have ties to say their grandparents were farmers in the area, or someone that would just like to be a part of this project. We are going to have a recognition wall within the building that will recognize the names of those that are providing donations."
Perchaluk added that tax receipts will be issued for all donations.
