Upper Canada Village recreates pioneer life in Canada in the 1860s, the period of the American Civl War and Confederation, when Canada became a nation. It is located about 100 kilometres southeast of Ottawa on the St. Lawrence River. Christ Church was built in 1837 with land and money donated to the Church of England congregation of Moulinette by Adam Dixson, a local miller. It still features plain wooden box pews near the front that were rented by early parishioners. Rear pews and those in the back gallery were available at no charge. The church has no cross inside, and no candles at the altar, in keeping with congregational practices in the time.
