Verigin's Memorial Gardens
Verigin's Tomb, as it was originally known, was established in 1924 with the interment of Doukhobor leader Peter Vasilevitch Verigin. His son, Peter Petrovich Verigin is also buried in the tomb, along with the wives of both Verigins and Anna P. Markova, mother of John J. Verigin Sr. Through the years, the tomb has been a focal point in Doukhobor life and conflict. In 1931, it was bombed for the first of many times by Sons of Freedom. More recently, Doukhobors have gathered here to hold prayer services and remembrance ceremonies. In 2005, Verigin's Tomb was renamed the Verigin's Memorial Park. It contains meticulously manicured flower gardens and grounds. [Sub-lot 28, Block 10, Kootenay District, Plan 2938] Click here for more information.
