An earlier church had existed some distance distance to the west of the present building.

In 1856 the present building was erected with Francis Tamblyn, Thomas McBur- ney and John Barkweli Sr. as trustees. In 1860 it was decided that the south half of the property was not suitable suitable for a cemetery, so the piece of land was traded to John Beatty for a more elevated elevated area about a quarter of a mile further south. A difference of one shilling was paid for the better property. property. On November 1st, 1853. the Post Office was opened in Elizabethville. The Post Office operated from a private private business and it was not until the 1870's that any government owned Post Office Office existed in Ontario.
