Caption: Marker detail: Typical Pioneer House /
Maison Typique de Colon
Additional Description: A typical pioneer house being built, land being cleared. These two buildings show how housing evolved as farms grew established. Here, a typical farm clearing and a shanty in the yard. A shanty sheltered people until they built their house, then it would be used for animals.

Une maison typique de colon et les premiers défrichages. Les deux bâtiments montrent l’évolution de l'habitat au fur et à mesure du développement de la ferme. Nous avons ici un défrichage typique, et une baraque dans la cour. La baraque abritait les gens jusqu'à ce que la maison soit construite, puis les animaux.
