Cobblestone House has been restored to reflect its mid 19th century appearance, and the site provides a view into the early rural life of Washtenaw County. Class participants also will have an opportunity to examine maps, drawings, and photos depicting life in early Pittsfield Township. Preregistration required; members $8, nonmembers $15. |

Cobblestone Farm is an 1844 Classic Revival farmhouse, and was originally a two-family home. Benajah Ticknor, a U.S. Naval surgeon, and Heman Ticknor, Whig Politician and farmer, shared occupancy of this stone structure with their families. Being restored and interpreted to reflect its mid-nineteenth century appearance, the farm provides a view of past rural life in Washtenaw County. Today the site is administered through the Ann Arbor Department of Parks and Recreation in a partnership with the Cobblestone Farm Association. |
