Nisbet Homestead Farm

History

The homestead was built by Matthew Nisbet who immigrated from Scotland to Canada in 1818. In 1841 Nisbet came to DeKalb County, Paw Paw Township, and constructed a two story log cabin, a temporary home he lived in while he constructed Old Stone House. The home is constructed of ten by four feet blocks of stone which were hauled from Ottawa via ox cart. Nisbet’s home took 15 years to build and has remained in the Nisbet family since its completion.
