South Kinloss Presbyterian Church looking back and looking forward

ByLucknow Sentinel
The first Presbyterian Church in the Lucknow community was South Kinloss, which was built in 1856 on the east side of Bruce County Road about a mile and a half north of Lucknow. Murdoch MacKenzie heard that someone was planning to buy the land on Conc. 2 in order to build a tavern where the current church stands. Murdoch gathered some members of the congregation and in a month, they were able to make up the 10% initial payment of $15 for the land.
