1. Church of Saint Andrew and Saint David Marker
Below the marker (in blue-green) is a commemorative plaque reading, "This shield erected by the
Presbytery of Saint John, The United Church of Canada,
on May 18th 1934 to commemorate the Establishment in 1874 of Saint Andrews’s Kirk, Mother Church of Presbyterianism in New Brunswick."
Constructed in 1879, on the site of the 1815 “Auld Kirk”, the present church is a faithful representation of the Gothic Revival style. One highlight of the interior is the Gothicized pulpit by local carver John Rogerson.

Construite en 1879, à l’emplacement de la “Auld Kirk” (1815), l’église actuelle est une fidèle représentation du style néogothique. A l’intérieur, la chaire de style gothique relisée par le sculpteur local John Rogerson ne manque pas d’attirer l’oeil de visiteurs.
Erected by Province of New Brunswick.
