Mayne Corners
Introduction
The Mayne Corners Cemetery
©Copyright: Jeri DanyleykoMayne Corners was a small farming hamlet in Perth County, first settled in the mid 19th century. At its height it contained a store, blacksmith, post office, Orange Hall and a school.
There are no records of any industries in Mayne Corners, other than a sawmill that operated for a brief period. The post office only lasted until 1866, when the postmaster resigned and postal service was transferred to nearby Shipley. A Methodist church opened in 1876.
Today there is nothing left of Mayne Corners except for a sign and the cemetery. Luchkily the small wooden church was saved and moved to the Country Heritage Park in Milton, where it enjoys a new life as part of the park's permanent collection of buildings.
