To protect and preserve a significant heritage site for present and future generations.
The Madill Church Preservation Society (MCPS) is a charity organization that was incorporated on Nov. 21, 2017. The purpose of MCPS is to protect and preserve a significant heritage site by restoring and maintaining Madill Church and its surrounding land that commemorate the site for present and future generations.
Madill Church was built on an acre parcel of land donated by John Madill for the purpose of a church and burial ground. Construction began in 1872 with each family of the congregation donating two round logs and further services. The construction of the church was completed the following year at a cost of approximately $600.
The cemetery on the church grounds contains the graves of many Muskoka pioneers, including Captain George Hunt, buried under a solid squared gravestone that bears his name and the words, “Pioneer Citizen after whom Huntsville was named.”
A provincial historical plaque stands outside the church, commemorating the pioneer Muskoka church. The plaque was unveiled on Sunday, July 29, 1962 by Archie Madill, John’s son.
