Scadding Cabin Commemorative plaque, 1978.

Description

John Scadding (1754-1824), the manager of Lieutenant Governor John Graves Simcoe's Estate in Devonshire, arrived in Canada in 1792, and came to York with Simcoe the following year. He was granted 250 acres east of the Don River where, in 1794, he built a log cabin. He lived in England from 1796 to 1818 but returned to York and sold the cabin and part of his land to William Smith Jr., whose descendants, along with the York Pioneer and Historical Society, moved the cabin here in 1879.
