Ukraina: A Sanctuary of Freedom
Discover the legacy of Ukrainian patriot Agapius Honcharenko at Ukraina, a California Historical Landmark in Hayward's Garin Regional Park, offering a glimpse into his fight for freedom and social justice.
Ukraina, California Historical Landmark #1025, is a poignant reminder of Agapius Honcharenko, a Ukrainian patriot, exiled Orthodox priest, and early champion of human rights. In 1873, Honcharenko and his wife Albina sought refuge in the Hayward Hills, naming their farmstead 'Ukraina.' Here, he continued his fight for social justice, publishing political literature smuggled into Czarist Russia. Today, the site within Garin Regional Park offers visitors a chance to reflect on Honcharenko's legacy and the enduring spirit of freedom. While little remains of the original farm, the historical marker and the serene landscape provide a powerful connection to the past. The Ukraina Loop trail, accessible from the Carden Lane entrance, leads to the historical site, offering a moderate 3.2-mile hike with views overlooking the San Francisco Bay. It's a place to honor a man who dedicated his life to fighting oppression and championing human rights.
