Excerpt from glenwilliams.org:

Located on the banks of the Credit River on Main Street, Saint Alban’s was built by local Anglicans and opened in 1902 against the Bishop’s wishes. It has a resident minister and a very active congregation with a strong sense of community spirit. The many events and activities that take place in the church, hall, and extensive grounds are well attended by the neighbourhood and help shape the cohesive character of the village.

Excerpt from copperkettle.ca:

Built in 1852, this building was originally home of the Wheeler General Store selling everything from dry goods and shoes to paper and stamps. Imagine Olsen’s Merchantile from Walnut Grove. Three generations of the Wheeler Family ran the store that also served as a post office from 1852 to 1972. There has been some type of store here until the 1970s. Since then the building had been used for an antique shop, a surf shop and a tea room.

Wheeler General Store prided itself on being a ‘dry’ store serving no alcohol, unlike the shop across the street. In fact, the store-keeper, Rufus McCrea, was instrumental in getting the Town Hall built next door in 1871 and included among its activities meetings of the local Temperance Society.

Ironically, the building eventually became the Copper Kettle Pub serving customers for over twenty years. In 2016, ownership changed hands and the Copper Kettle Pub has been lovingly renovated to bring it back to its former glory as a community hot spot and a ‘must see’ destination for tourists and travelers.

Excerpt from glenwilliams.org:

St. John’s United Church is part of one active congregation with two places of worship in Georgetown and Glen Williams. It is known for its inclusive approach, outstanding music, and community outreach.

The historic church building in Glen Williams celebrated its 175th Anniversary in 2011. The original Williams family (of Glen “Williams”) were Episcopal Methodists and established regular services for Methodists in the hamlet in 1836.

The church was bricked in 1903 and became home to the United Church in 1925.
