"It looks like a little wooden toy.  There is a heavy iron bell in a covered porch near the door, and locked within the church are its treasures; a Bible, whose date is 1701, and pieces of a silver communion set, presented by Queen Anne of England when certain Mohawk chiefs visited her court in 1710.  She built a chapel for them at that time, near Amsterdam in the Province of New York, but during the revolution it went up in flames.  The loyal Mohawks, following Brant up to the Grand River, brought with them the precious gifts and a church was built here, which the Indians themselves made and dedicated to the Christian God.  It was the first church built in Ontario."
