Union Point United Church – A Historic Prairie Landmark
Nestled between the lanes of Highway 75 in Manitoba, Canada, the Union Point United Church Historic Site and Cemetery stands as a testament to the region’s rich history and resilience. This small yet significant church, originally built in the late 1800s, has long served as a spiritual and cultural landmark for travelers and local communities alike.
A Church with a Unique Location
What makes Union Point United Church truly unique is its location—positioned right in the middle of a divided highway. This unusual placement dates back to when the highway was expanded, and rather than demolish the church, efforts were made to preserve it as a historic site. Today, it stands as a quiet and enduring reminder of Manitoba’s pioneer days, welcoming travelers who pass by on their way to and from the U.S. border.
A Piece of Manitoba’s Heritage
The church itself is a reflection of the early settlers who built it, relying on faith, hard work, and a deep connection to the land. Though no longer an active place of worship, Union Point United Church continues to be a significant site for history enthusiasts and photographers alike. The adjacent cemetery holds the memories of early settlers who helped shape the surrounding communities, adding to the church’s historical importance.
Capturing Its Beauty in Winter
This framed print, captured by photographer Rudi Dueck, preserves the church’s beauty during the serene winter season. As the sun sets, casting golden light over the snow-covered landscape, the historic church stands as a peaceful and striking contrast to the vast prairie. The scene evokes a sense of solitude, history, and timelessness—making it a perfect addition to any collection.
Now available as a framed poster with white matting in three elegant colors—Black, Oak, and White—this piece allows you to bring a slice of Manitoba’s history into your home or office.
