Armond Church was a one-room structure built in 1897.
In 2008 it was purchased from the Armond Community group by the Knowlesville Art & Nature Centre and moved down the road to South Knowlesville.
The initial renovations to revitalize the old building were completed in November 2008 and a small preschool opened to service families in the area. In the last decade, the Knowlesville Art & Nature Centre has expanded to include many community programmes and learning opportunities for all ages.
Mineral Free Baptist Meetinghouse stands at a crossroads amid rolling hills and farmlands, 9 kilometres north of Bath, in the community of Mineral in the north western corner of Carleton County. This simple, functional place of worship is one of the last surviving examples of its type in this area.
Constructed in 1883 and dedicated on October 13 of that year, the rectangular gabled building is historically important to the province as an example of the Free Baptist presence throughout sections of rural New Brunswick. The plain façade and overall proportions of this “neat and comfortable” house of worship are similar in character to other such meetinghouses throughout New Brunswick; however, most have not survived to the present day.
The Reverend Ezekiel Sipprell (1799-1895), a Free Baptist preacher active throughout the settlements of Carleton County, is acknowledged as the person most responsible for the building of this meetinghouse. In 1922, a local Free Baptist congregation bought the church and refinished the interior.
Mineral Free Baptist Meetinghouse is designated a Provincial Historic Site for its architecture and its association with the Free Baptist congregation. As of 2005, the congregation was still meeting on the third Sunday afternoon of every month for worship.
Historical description edited for brevity from Canada's Historic Places.Fielding Baptist Church was envisioned and founded in 1911. The original piece of land was purchased for $1. Having officially opened on March 16, 1912 as a Primitive Baptist Church, the Church grew to 23 members by September 1914.
The Church functioned for a number of years until the early 1950s when it closed. In 1967 it was reopened as the Fielding Primitive Baptist Church. In 1996 the Church was re-established and renamed 'Fielding Baptist Church.'
The area around Peel was first settled in the 1790s but the first church was organised on Saturday, July 14, 1804 by Reverend Joseph Crandall. The congregation met in log homes and had various preachers visit and speak to them through the years.
The Union Meeting House was built and dedicated in June 1897. In May of 1901, following a theological dispute, it was decided that a new church would be built to house a congregation of Calvinist Baptists.
A building site was needed, and it so happened the most desirable location belonged to a businessman with little interest in church. He refused to sell the land, but the committee communicating with him regarding the sale of the land consisted of a young lady who was very persistent in her entreaties. He informed her the only possible terms by which she could get the land was to kiss him on the mouth. It is unclear what actually happened, but the next morning the ground was staked off and the building material gathered.
In the summer of 1901 the windows were put into the Baptist Church. On June 4, 1903, the church was dedicated. In 1905, following the union of Baptists in the Maritimes, the Peel Church became Peel United Baptist Church.
On September 23, 1945, the church was rededicated after being painted inside and out. During the summer 1948, a basement was built, and the church moved the week of December 12th.
Peel United Baptist Church celebrated its 100th anniversary on Saturday June 28, 2003.
