The cairn is to mark the original site of the Langley Prairie Methodist Church, built in 1886.

People/Subject

Milner (B.C.)

Milner Methodist Church (Milner United Church)

The church was built in 1886 by Thomas Turnbull on property donated by James M. Johnson. It was originally known as Langley Prairie Methodist, but at 25 years of age was renamed Milner Methodist, and in 1925 the congregation joined the newly formed United Church of Canada. At that time the church hall and kitchen were added to the rear of the structure. It was designated a Municipal Heritage Site in 1983, and moved to its new location at Milner Park, just south of the original location, in 2006.
