Cobblestone Farm and Museum

Cobblestone Farm and Museum is a historic farmhouse in Ann Arbor with fieldstones arranged in herringbone pattern and Doric pilasters at the main entrance. The property preserves several outbuildings from the 1800s and a relocated log cabin from 1835 from Washtenaw County.

Dr. Benajah Ticknor commissioned this cobblestone farmhouse in 1844, which served as a working farm for many years. Ann Arbor acquired the property in 1972 and eventually opened it as a museum.

The name refers to the distinctive construction method using fieldstones that defines the main house. Visitors can see how the original structures reflect rural daily life from the 1800s.

The museum sits on a large property along Packard Road and is best reached by vehicle. Tours operate seasonally, so visitors should check hours in advance and wear comfortable shoes since the grounds include multiple buildings to explore.

A relocated log cabin from 1835 stands on the property and came from elsewhere in Washtenaw County. This rare example of early pioneer building shows construction methods that existed long before the stone house was built.
