Michelsen Farmstead, Provincial historic farmstead in Stirling, Canada
The farmstead includes a Victorian-style house with seven rooms, a wraparound porch, and several outbuildings including a barn, granary, and storage cellar.
Andreas Michelsen constructed the initial two-room house in 1902, later expanding it to seven rooms in 1912, maintaining the same structure until present day.
The property functioned as a central gathering place where the Michelsen family organized frequent dances with local fiddlers performing for the community members.
The farmstead opens Tuesday through Saturday from 10 AM to 5 PM during July and August, with admission prices ranging from free for children to five dollars for adults.
The barn loft served as both a dance floor during community gatherings and a playground where local children organized sleepovers and games.
