SUMMARY:Open House at the Presbyterian Church Heritage Centre
DESCRIPTION:Date: Sunday\, September 21\, 2025Time: 1:30 – 4:30 p.m.Location: Presbyterian Church Heritage Centre (PCHC)Carlisle United Church\, 19 Falkirk St.\, Carlisle\, ON (North Middlesex) \nJoin us for an informal open house at the Presbyterian Church Heritage Centre. \n1:30 – 4:30 p.m. – Drop in anytime\, no reservations required. Iced tea and old-fashioned cookies will be served. \n4:00 p.m. – Enjoy a Curator’s Tour of the Heritage Centre with Ian Mason. \n\nAbout the Centre\nThe PCHC moved into Carlisle United Church (originally Presbyterian) in 2021. Since then\, the former sanctuary has been carefully renovated into an exhibit hall\, including reinforced flooring to safely house the museum’s large and growing collection. The congregation now meets downstairs\, while the sanctuary upstairs becomes a space to celebrate Presbyterian history in Canada. \nThe Centre is the steward of the collection of the former National Presbyterian Museum (Toronto\, 2002–2018). In April 2024\, more than 400 boxes of artefacts were delivered from temporary storage to Carlisle. Exhibits will be gradually installed throughout 2024–2025\, leading up to the official grand opening and dedication on Saturday\, September 20\, 2025—timed with the 150th anniversary of The Presbyterian Church in Canada. \n\nSupporting the PCHC\nThe Heritage Centre receives no regular funding from Presbyterians Sharing. Its work depends entirely on the generosity of congregations and individuals. Donations are always welcome; gifts of $25 or more receive income tax receipts from The Presbyterian Church in Canada. \nMailing address:Presbyterian Church Heritage Centre19 Falkirk St.\, R.R. 3Denfield\, ON N0M 1P0 \n\nPlan Your Visit\nThe PCHC functions as a museum rather than an archive. While exhibits are still in progress until the 2025 grand opening\, visitors are warmly welcomed by appointment. Even a single guest is enough reason to open the doors. Local committee member Doug Carmichael\, who lives just a few houses away\, is often available to host spontaneous visits. \n📧 Doug Carmichael: carmy34159@gmail.com📞 519-232-4715 \nWe are grateful to the Ailsa Craig Museum and the North Middlesex Historical Society for their support in storing parts of the collection during renovations. \nStay Connected\n🌐 pcheritagecentre.ca📘 Facebook Group📞 Contact Ian Mason\, Curator: 416-469-1345
