MOSSBANK SITE RECEIVES HERITAGE DESIGNATION

Released on October 7, 2003

Saskatchewan's southwest region boasts the newest provincially designated heritage property. The Ambroz Blacksmith Shop in Mossbank is designated as a provincial heritage property under the Heritage Property Act, recognizing the importance of the blacksmith trade in the early life and development of Saskatchewan communities.

"Heritage designation conserves and protects Saskatchewan's historic places," Culture, Youth and Recreation Minister Joanne Crofford said. "Historic places are among our greatest national and local assets. They need to be preserved for our own benefit, and as a legacy to pass on to future generations in Saskatchewan."

The Ambroz Blacksmith Shop contains a vast artifact collection, which includes original tools, equipment and hardware used by Frank Ambroz, who operated the shop from 1928 until he died in 1986. It is the oldest-known, fully furnished commercial blacksmith shop in Saskatchewan still on its original site. The designation applies to the blacksmith shop and also the Ambroz family residence and three related outbuildings with other landscape features, a rare surviving combination in Saskatchewan.

"The Mossbank Museum Association and the people of Mossbank are pleased that the Ambroz property has been recognized and designated as a Provincial Heritage Property. The preservation of this property will contribute to the historic interest of our community," Mossbank and District Museum Association President Roy Tollefson said.

The Ambroz Blacksmith Shop heritage designation is the 37th provincialy designated site in the province. To view all provincial heritage sites, go to www.cyr.gov.sk.ca and follow the heritage links.
