Allanburg United Church 1876, 2364 Centre Street, Allanburg:
Seventeen years after the first Methodist society was formed at Allanburg in 1841, a white frame church was erected (1858). It was replaced by the present Italianate style red brick church in 1876. Work on the church took place in 1958 when the interior was renovated, the bell tower was added and the bell salvaged from the old Allanburg school.

Beaverdams Methodist Church c.1832, Marlatts Road, Beaverdams:
A New England style meeting house, this church is undergoing complete restoration. It was recognized by the Ontario Heritage Foundation in 1965. As one of the oldest Methodist churches still standing in Ontario, this is the oldest still in operation. It was here that the “father of public education in Ontario” – the Rev. Egerton Ryerson first preached in 1832. A much beloved community Sunday School operated in the building from the 1840s until about 1980.
