Lambs Corners Methodist Church and School. To the left is the church horse shed.

Location

Lamb's Corners is located in the extreme southwest of Westerlo.

History

Lamb's Corners early residents were the Lamb's, St. John's and Ingalls families who established prosperous farms there before 1800. Stores, a blacksmith shop, a barrel factory and even a photographic studio cluttered the area generations ago. In 1976, only remains of a Methodist Church, Olin Chapel, built in 1853 were left as well as a few homes and descendants of the pioneers.[1]
