MacDonald depicts historic Upper Canada Village, Morrisburg, with Christ Church and surrounding mills and buildings of the village visible across the pond. The village, now a major attraction to experience the culture and life of pre-Confederation Canada, speaks to the quintessential cultural landscape of nineteenth century Canada rooted in agriculture. Nostalgia of the cultural history of the nation is captured in MacDonald's scenic landscape.
