Historic Sites of Manitoba: Breadalbane Presbyterian Church (RM of Wallace-Woodworth)

The Presbyterian congregation of the Breadalbane district in western Manitoba was established in 1883. This impressive stone church in the Rural Municipality of Wallace-Woodworth, now a municipally-designated historic site (2012), was constructed by stonemason C. B. Murphy in 1898. Next to it is a stone monument listing the names of pioneers to the Breadalbane district, and their year of arrival between 1880 and 1900.
