This small log church comes from Kitley Township, north of Brockville, a distance of 80 kilometers north-west of here. It was built in the 1850s and served as a shared facility for several Protestant denominations in this sparsely settled area. Reconstructed at Upper Canada Village in 1960, it now represents a small Methodist congregation. By the 1860s, Methodists were the largest Protestant group in Canada West.
Cette petite église en bois rond vient du canton de Kitley, au nord de Brockville, une distance de 80 kilomètres au nord-ouest d'ici. Elle a été construite dans les années 1850 et a été partagée par de nombreuses dénominations protestantes dans cette région peu populeuse. Reconstruite à Upper Canada Village en 1960, elle représente maintenant une petite congrégation méthodiste. Vers les années 1860, les méthodistes constituaient le plus important groupe de protestants au Canada-Ouest.
