DATE FOUNDED:

MISSION:
To raise funds to preserve and restore the historic St. George's Anglican Church and its adjacent cemetery. The church and grounds are the property of the Greater Parish of St. Francis of Assisi, and regular church services are held every second Sunday.

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION:
1) St. George's Anglican Church, dating to 1855 (partially rebuilt after a fire, 1864-1866). The church, built in the neo-Gothic style, is made entirely of local fieldstone. The interior features wood paneling and stained glass, the latter depicting scenes from local and national history while at the same time respecting their religious vocation.
2) St. George's Cemetery. Adjacent to the church, this charming cemetery is a place of quiet reflection and contains many early tombstones, including one bearing a Celtic cross (indicative of the area's Irish heritage) and another made of slate and dating to 1826. The cemetery also contains the grave of Major-General Frederick George Heriot (1786-1843), the founder of Drummondville. The site also features an interpretive plaque.
