Built by French-Canadian Pioneer, Charles Lesperance in 1799.

When the Tecumseh Historical Society needed to replace logs in the cabin they had volunteers and materials but not the expertise to appropriately replace them. ACO Windsor Essex connected them with PreservationWorks volunteer John Rutledge who spent a day on site, assessing the issue. He very quickly sent a 14 page report back to them and they were able to replace the rotted logs quickly and successfully using donated labour.
