Fun Facts

St. Peter’s Cemetery is the resting place or memorial site for many community members, including
- Heroes from the War of 1812 and World War One
- A memorial for Ellis Wellwood Sifton, a World War One soldier from Wallacetown who earned the Victoria Cross
- Colonel Thomas Talbot, who was responsible for Colonizing our area
- And more!
The church and neighboring historic site, the Backus-Page House Museum, were both constructed as part of the will of Mary Storey, and their histories are tied close together.
The church still runs Sunday Services at 11 and hosts community events. It is a great place to visit if you wish to support local!
