History Biographical: 

St. Paul's Anglican Church (Grassmere, Ont.) is part of the multi-point North Muskoka Anglican Parish. In 1874, the parish St. Paul's was part of was known as the Franklyn Mission.

The congregation of what would become St. Paul's met in the home of Francis Morgan, Sr., in 1874. In 1881 William Henry Green cleared and set aside half an acre of his land as a church site. The church building was constructed ten years later in 1891. St. Paul's was consecrated that year on September 2.

In 1901, St. Paul's had installed seats of oiled ash with curly birch ends, crafted by Mr. E. Brooks. Renovations and improvements continued, an ten years later the church's exterior was bricked in 1919 through the generosity of the Ogle family. The interior lamps were purchased with the funds from a picnic, and lasted 59 years until electric heating and light was installed in 1963. The front doors were donated by the Women's Auxiliary of All Saints' in 1953. Next, on October 13, 1968 the window was dedicated. The church maintains its original interior wooden walls and pine log supports for the plank floor.
