Woodrow homestead a tribute In the early 1800's, Andrew Woodrow packed his family and headed for Canada, leaving behind forever his Scottish Highlands Home. He, his wife and daughter settled in what is now known as Coldwater, and in 1930 Woodrow built himself a one room log cabin By the mid 1850s his family had grown, the single room home was insufficient and so Woodrow went to work adding two larger front rooms and an upstairs The materials came from the land surrounding the homestead and the style was "classis" log-cabin The Woodrow Homestead has weathered the last 130 years well, and thanks to the Coldwater Canadiana, has been preserved for future generations to learn from and ap preciate.

No doubt, demolition would be for the sake of "progress" -- perhaps residential buildings, perhaps commercial ventures, perhaps an access road. In any event, the land and _ building were for sale and no government body, museum or historical society ventured an offer, largely because of limited funds at that time. Thus is set the stage for the creation of Coldwater Canadiana, a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving history and specifically, to restoring the old log cabin. The Woodrow Homestead had stood on its original foundations for 150 years and more and the Cold- water group was intent on Coldwater school teacher, a band of residents borrowed fhe "funds to purchase the homestead and approximately one acre of the land surrounding the old home and fronting on the river. Its charter declared that Coldwater Canadiana is dedicated to the preservation of pioneer history; its, ob- jective is to fully restore the Woodrow Homestead and preserve this house as a museum honouring the pioneer families of the district, and as a cultural center for arts and crafts. The purchase of the home though, was only the first step on a long arduous road that has seen volunteers con- tribute hundreds of hours to. tearing down the plaster that hid the beautifully preserved logs, to restoring worn sections, laying new floors, the fieldstone in the original single room the sand and water -- it is a dedication that can never be measured or fully appreciated. Needless to say, there are sizeable recurring expenses that must be met by Coldwater Canadiana group. Coldwater memberships help defray some of the costs, as does the sale of gifts and handicraft items from the gift shop in the Woodrow Homestead. In order to assure the continuation of the froup's projects. Coldwater Canadiana also runs historical tours throughout the summer, holds a summer festival, sponsors a September supper (home-made food only), and sells home- baking and other goodies on a regular basis -- "and we pray a lot for new members."
