This traditional prairie church was completed in 1919 and is a Provincial Heritage Site. It still contains the original hand carved pews and has a balcony. The cemetery was and still is used to bury members of the congregation from the Irricana area. At present it contains about 25 graves including one of an unknown Blackfoot traveler. It is maintained by the congregation of the church and the town of Irricana.
The oldest gravestone I could see was the one in the picture above. It says:
In Loving Memory of Jonas Deeter of Ohio, USA
