People's Memorial United Church

People's Memorial United Church, located in Ridgeway, Ontario, has served as a cornerstone of the community since its establishment in 1872. Initially founded as Volunteer Memorial Church to honor fallen soldiers from the 1866 Battle of Ridgeway, it transitioned to its current name following a unification of Methodist and Presbyterian congregations in 1925.

Throughout its history, the church has witnessed architectural enhancements, including ornate details, a pipe organ, and stained-glass windows donated by local families. Despite these rich traditions, the church is set to close its doors this June following a decline in attendance exacerbated by recent challenges, including significant flooding.
