Port Ryerse Memorial Church (above) was established 1870
(according to a small sign on its front exterior). Community founder Lieut.-Colonel
Samuel Ryerse, his wife, and others -- including American casualties of
the War of 1812 -- are buried behind this Anglican
church. A Historical Plaque stands on the far
(north) side of this church in this
photo. The church is still in use and has been modified several times over
its 130 year history. A quarter century ago a basement was added that doubles as
community centre.
