Portrait of Greenwood

| Abstract |
The Greenwood Center for Living History is the oldest preserved historic house in the Vaudreuil-Soulanges region. First built in the early 18th century, between 1732 and 1994 the house was owned by five generations, but only two families: the Sabourin family and the Delesderniers/Shepherd family. In 1820, John Mark Crank Delesderniers purchased it. He intended it to be both a residence for his son, Peter Francis Christian, and a general store and trading post. In the 1840's, it served as the first post office in the area. Some notable family ancestors include R.W. Shepherd, the co-founder of the Ottawa River Navigation Company, Dr. Francis Shepherd, Dean of the Faculty of Medicine at McGill University for many years, and Percy Nobbs, one of Canada's foremost architects.
