Its history goes back to the 1880s ghost town of Donald, northwest of Golden. The church simply vanished! Who stole it? How did they do it? What was the motive? If you want to find out, come to a musical
mystery theatre production at 2:00 pm on Sunday, August 21 at St. Peter’s Churchlocated on Victoria Avenue in Windermere, about two blocks west of the community hall. The tale is full of romance, mystery, colourful East Kootenay historical characters, and original music in the rollicking style of the gold rush days.
