The settler's cabin was one of the first homes built in Marianville.  In fact, Marianville didn't exist when the house was erected in 1812.  Harvey Stenfields first arrived in the area in 1811 and as he cleared fields for farming, he used the wood from the cleared trees to build this homestead.  This two-story log home was an ambitious undertaking since he worked alone to build it.
