A monument at Medora, in the Municipality of Brenda-Waskada, was dedicated on 19 November 1978 to commemorate the Medora United Church. The monument was topped with the original bell that had hung in the church tower until 1978. A wood frame church building was constructed here in 1903, becoming Medora United Church in 1925. Closed in mid-1996, the building was demolished in the winter of 2005-2006.
