St. Elijah Romanian Orthodox Church Museum and Paulenko Romanian Folk House

Five km (3 miles) north on PR592 and 1km (3/4 mile) west of Inglis can be found the only church of its kind in North America, together with a traditional Romanian home. The church was built in 1908 and is a replica of Romanian Orthodox churches in Bukovyna, with a simple rectangular shape with a rounded end, interior sculptured rafters, processional crosses and icons. The house, built in 1906, is typically Romanian in construction, with the characteristic deep-sloping roof on all four sides with rounded, shingled corners.
