| Upper Canada Village Christ Church: The church was built in 1837 in the lost village of Moulinette, a community on the St. Lawrence river west of Cornwall. The land and the building were a gift to the village from Adam Dixson, a wealthy mill-owner. Cook's Tavern: The tavern was built by Michael Cook, between 1820-1822, with compensation from British government for an earlier tavern destroyed by American troops who invaded the area prior to the Battle of Crysler's Farm in 1813. It originally stood along the river on Cook's Point just east of the battlefield. Cook's Tavern Barn was moved to the Village from Matilda Township, Dundas County. Robertson House: This building started off as a small timber-frame house built by Jeremiah French, a Loyalist, who settled, in the 1780s, on his riverfront land grant between Cornwall and the lost village of Mille Roches. Later, the house was expanded and re-designed by his son-in-law, George Robertson, who purchased the property in 1812. Both the residence and the small community around it were called Maple Grove. | |
