Moulinette, Ontario

Families and businesses in Moulinette were moved to the new town of Long Sault before the seaway construction commenced.

Moulinette was settled in the late 1700s by United Empire Loyalists of the King's Royal Regiment from New York.

Upon his arrival, Dixson constructed a dam, which ran from the nearby Sheek's Island to the mainland, in order to generate power; immediately following this, he established a grist mill.

The village was now home to two hotels, called the Lion and the Pea Green; as well as two general stores, two wharves, a cheese factory, barber shop and an elementary school.

The project became a reality when the Canadian government began the initial phases of planning and construction, essentially forcing the United States to begin to participate.

The Canadian government assumed there would be little repercussion, as there were plans in place to relocate all of the residents to newly upgraded towns with newer, improved infrastructure.

This was not necessary the case, as many residents could not afford to move to or live in the new towns despite land sales and government aid.

In preparation for the flooding of the Seaway, a new Christ Church was built in the new town of Ingleside in the 1950s to accommodate the congregation.

The church was secularized on June 24, 1957, by Bishop Ernest Reed, and then moved to Upper Canada Village for preservation.

The Christ Church Anglican cemetery's graves were moved in the 1950s and stones encased in the brick wall of the pioneer memorial near Upper Canada Village where they currently remain.
