MacLeod Log House / Maison en Bois MacLeod

, Macleod Log House , This building was moved to Ault Park in 1974, under the supervision of the late John Brownell, a charter member of the Lost Villages Historical Society. He was instrumental in locating it on the Norman MacLeod farm, South Branch Road Cornwall Township, dismantling it, numbering the logs, and moving it to the museum site. The logs still bear the numbers on small metal plates on the exterior. Members of the historical society erected the building and chinked the logs. The functional fireplace was constructed by Donald Ripley and Robin Cross, two other charter members of the Lost Villages Historical Society. Following restoration, the building sat unused for eight years, only opening for a few days in 1988 during "Celebration 30"., Beryl Morrison, a charter member of the historical society and author of "Two Centuries of Life in Osnabruck Township", cut the ribbon on August 10, 1992, to officially open the museum. It was a grand day for the historical society and we haven't looked back since that time., Visitors to the museum wishing to view the DVD documentary "Lost Villages - Then and Now” from the beginning are encouraged to do so. It runs for approximately 53 minutes, and it is narrated by Fran Laflamme, the first president of the Lost Villages Historical Society. The sale of the DVDs of this documentary is the historical society's biggest fundraiser and may be purchased at the museum's Manson-Lapierre General Store.,
