HER MAJESTYS CHAPEL OF THE MOHAWKS

Originally called St. Pauls, this chapel was the first Protestant church in Upper Canada and is now the oldest surviving church in Ontario. Built by the Crown in 1785, it was given to those Mohawk Indians led by Joseph Brant who had supported the British during the American Revolution. Their choice cost them their lands in New York. To compensate for the loss the Mohawks were granted 760,000 acres on the Grand River complete with two mills, a school, and a chapel. Although the church has undergone many alterations it stands as a reminder to the important role played by the Loyalist Mohawks in the early settlement of Ontario.
