1. Lutheran Pastor's House Marker
Many of the Loyalist settlers of Dundas County were German Lutherans from the Mohawk River valley in central New York State. The congregation of St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church in Riverside built a home for their pastor, William Sharts, during the years 1842-44. In 1956, the house was given by the parish to Upper Canada Village. It was moved eight kilometers east, and restored and furnished as a 19th century Lutheran manse, which it represents today.
De nombreux colons loyalistes du comté de Dundas étaient des luthériens allemands de la vallée de la rivière Mohawk dans le centre de l'État de New York. La congrégation de l'Église évangélique luthérienne St. John à Riverside a construit une maison pour son pasteur, William Sharts, dans les années 1842 à 1844. En 1956, la maison a été donnée par la paroisse à Upper Canada Village. Elle était démé nagée sur huit kilomètres vers l'est et, restaurée et meublée comme un presbytère luthérien du 19 siècle, ce qu'elle représente aujourd'hui.
