Mallory Coach House
The Mallory Coach House was built circa 1853 and has been used as a hotel, tavern, doctor’s office, farm house and as a residence. It was purchased by the Township in the fall of 2005, to be used for a tourist attraction, art shows, a meeting place for local groups, and a place to showcase historical artifacts and documents.
Under the management of the Heritage Committee, it has undergone major renovations and restorations, funded by grants and generous donations. The garden area and gazebo are also used for community events and weddings.

Amasa Whitney Mallory, Sr.
Founder of the Mallorytown Glassworks
He was the grandson of Nathaniel Mallory who founded Mallorytown in 1790. He spent his early years working with David, his father, farming and supplying lumber to the Kingston Penitentiary. In 1839, the brash enterprising 20-year-old started up Canada’s first glassworks in a log structure about 2 km. west of Mallorytown.
The enterprise only lasted a year or so and closed “due to the unreliableness of the foreman”. The success of the business hinged on the foreman, or gaffer, as he was the only person with the knowledge of how to make the raw glass and how to form it into finished pieces.
