1. Hired Man's House Marker
This house was originally owned by the McDougal family who settled on the riverfront of Charlottenburgh Township in Glengarry County, 45 kilometers east of here. This two-story log home was built around 1825. It was reconstructed at Upper Canada Village in 1958 to represent the home of a hired man and his family working for the Loucks family during the 1860s.

Cette maison en bois rond à deux étages a été construite vers 1825. Elle a été rebâtie à Upper Canada Village en 1958 pour représenter la maison d'un homme engagé et sa famille qui travaillait pour la famille Loucks dans les années 1860.
