At one point, Aultsville was home to three churches: an Anglican, a United and a Presbyterian church.
The Anglican church was known as St. Paul's Anglican Church, with its congregation first being mentioned in the Synod journals in 1876.
In 1887, a brick church was constructed to house the congregation.
St. Paul's was consecrated by a Bishop Charles Hamilton on December 19, 1900.
In 1925, the church was severely damaged by fire, but was rebuilt within a year.
The church was demolished in 1958 in preparation for the flooding of the Seaway.
St. Peter's church in the newly formed community of Ingleside was erected to replace it and a few other churches demolished at the time.

The Presbyterian church in Aultsville was known as the Immanuel Presbyterian church.
This church was constructed in 1899 and opened in February 1900.
The church was demolished in 1957 in preparation for the flooding of the village; St. Matthew's Presbyterian Church in Ingleside was constructed to replace it.
The United church was called the Trinity United Church and was a Methodist church located within the village.
Like the other churches, it was also demolished in the 1950s in preparation for the Seaway's construction.

The United church had a cemetery located on its property simply referred to as the Old Burying Ground.
In the early years of the settlement until the 1900s, it was common for people to bury their dead on their property.
According to local residents, grave robbing was a common problem in the village, with one individual in particular being known for padding his horse's hooves in order to sneak around fresh graves at night.
It was also common practice to bury the dead with tins or other items that would produce a sound when disturbed.

Before the expansion of the St. Lawrence Seaway, Aultsville underwent a process to preserve its old burial sites.
Detailed records of eroding grave markers were made.
It was during this preservation time that researchers uncovered many birthplaces of former British Loyalists who migrated to Canada before and after the American Revolution.
The tombstones and graves were moved from the village to be preserved, being encased into a brick wall and becoming part of the pioneer memorial located near Upper Canada Village.
Other towns that had burial grounds preserved here included Dickinson's Landing, Farran's Point and Wales.
