St. David’s Presbyterian Church was named a provincial historic site in 2005. It was built by the community of Kirkland in the late 1800s, primarily by Scottish, Irish and English settlers who came to the area as pioneers.
The established date of the church is 1876. The community of Kirkland is named after St. David’s, which was once referred to as the Scottish Kirk.
Located at 1589 Route 540 in Kirkland, St. David’s anniversary and annual homecoming gathers friends and visitors from New Brunswick, Ontario, and the State of Maine.
