Completed in 1832, the architecturally stunning Sharon Temple is the centre of an open-air museum. Featuring 10 heritage buildings, on 4.5 acres of park land, the museum tells the story of the Children of Peace – formed during the War of 1812, influenced by the Rebellion of 1837, and instrumental in the fight for democracy in Canada!

The Temple was ordered to be burned down after members of the Children of Peace marched in the 1837 Rebellion of Upper Canada, thankfully it was not.
The original 2952 panes of glass in the Temple windows were shipped from England in vats of molasses.
