Plan to visit Historic Markerville this season

Historic Markerville Church is Designated!
We are pleased to announce that we have been designated as a historical resource by both the county and the province.
This means we have greater access for protection and preservation of the church as well as ongoing conservation for it.
This would not be possible without the continual care and concern of many people over the years.
