Benvoulin Church
Benvoulin Church and Reid Hall have been host to many types of events over the years. We are best known as a beautiful venue for weddings and receptions, but we are also a local favourite for concerts, choirs, church groups, and meetings.
Reid Hall
Reid Hall draws its name from longtime elders of the Benvoulin United Church congregation, Mr. & Mrs. Alexander Reid. The hall was added to the original church structure in 1956 as a Sunday school and meeting room.
McIver House
The McIver house was built in the early 1900s on KLO Road on a site just south of its new home at Benvoulin Heritage Park. Original homesteaders, the Scotts, sold the property in the 1920’s to Bernard McIver.
McDougall House
John McDougall, the patriarch of a large First Nations family, built the house in 1886. It was the third home built, and the finest one on the Guisachan site, when the Aberdeens bought the ranch in 1891.
