Ellis Chapel is a living memorial to the pioneer heritage of Puslinch Township. It is managed by a dedicated group of volunteer trustees. Generous gifts from visitors and friends make it possible to maintain the building and grounds in keeping with their historic and religious significance.

In 1859 Edward and Mary Ellis, pioneer settlers in Puslinch Township, gave land for a church to the Wesleyan Methodist Church. In early settlement times, this location on the old "Accommodation Road" between the 2nd and 3rd concessions, was on the main trail between Hespeler and Aberfoyle.

Within two years the community had erected a handsome church of random faced field stone.
