- History / Biographical
- The Methodist Episcopal congregation had its beginnings in Copenhagen in the 1860s when services were held above a general store, until 1870. A quarter acre of land in Lot 10, Concession 2 was deeded by Walter Livingston Brown to the Trustees of the Methodist Episcopal Church on August 26, 1871, and a frame church was built. In 1888 a brick church was built beside the frame church, which was later moved to Aylmer and can still be seen as a garage at 289 John Street South. The church was closed in 1957 and the congregation amalgamated with Dunboyne. The Sunday School at Copenhagen continued to be held in the school until 1964. In 1964 the church building and property were sold to Gordon Jones, and dismantled in 1979. Mr. Jones used some of the bricks from the church to build a new home, on the site of the church.
