This House Is Special

In 1980, the historic Applewood Homestead was saved when a community rallied to preserve this link with its rural past. Applewood's rescue, move, and restoration is a source of civic pride and a tribute to what a community working together can achieve.  This video tells the story.

In 1980 the James Shaver Woodsworth Homestead Foundation was formed to head up the rescue and restoration of Applewood.  Funds were raised to move it and to restore  its original beauty.

We receive no funding from any level of government. Our source of income comes from rentals; weddings, parties and meetings.  The upstairs rooms are rented as office space.  These sources of income help keep the house open and in good repair.
