Moose Creek United Church and Cemetery

Moose Creek United Church and Cemetery, also known as Moose Creek Methodist Church until 1925 when it joined the United Church, is an historical site located within the RM.

Constructed in 1916, the United Church is located approximately south-west of Carlyle. The initial funding to build the church came from community donations and a $1,500 loan at 8% interest from John Hewitt. When he died in 1927, the balance of the loan was cancelled. The cemetery was established two years after the completion of the church, in 1918. The cemetery is the final resting place for many of the early settlers. The first wedding there was between Tom Cook and Isabel Wallace and was officiated by Reverend F.B. Ball

On 5 March 1991, the church and cemetery were designated a Municipal Heritage Resource and on 10 August, they were added to the Register for Canada's Historic Places.
