Inscription. Charles Kennedy of Gainsborough Township, surveyor for the northern part of Esquesing Township was instrumental in introducing Methodism to this area. Located on this site at the south west corner of his land, the first meeting house and cemetery were established ca 1821. Known as Kennedy's Meeting House", it was used until a new Wesleyan chapel was built in the Village of Georgetown in 1845. The cemetery continued to be used until the 1890's when many removals were made to Greenwood Cemetery. The remaining cemetery became known as McCullough's after the family who bought the Kennedy land in 1860. Partial closure by the Region of Halton, 1992.
