Kinmount United Church

 kinmount_united_church.jpg

This building originally housed the Presbyterian congregation of the town and played host to other denominations who lacked facilities in the early years of settlement.  It was built in 1876. However, no bell was to chime in its tower until almost 40 years later when a bell was donated by W. T. Craig, then co-owner of the Craig and Austin Sawmill. When the United Church of Canada was formed in 1925, the Presbyterians joined the United Church of Canada, the building consequently became the home of the newly formed United Church congregation in Kinmount. The adjacent manse was built in 1898 and occupied henceforth by a minister until 1950. The Church building was renovated in 1944 and 1978. Interestingly, a manual pump organ purchased many years ago is still used on occasion to provide music for worship services. In 1958 Kinmount became included in the Coboconk pastoral charge. In 2005 Kinmount United Church became a single pastoral charge.
