Sir John Johnson, a loyalist who moved North to Montreal following the American Revolution, left behind a considerable estate in Mohawk valley to fund and lead the King’s Regiment of New York. In 1784 he was instrumental in resettling many loyalists in what is now Ontario. Johnson himself built a home and mills on the banks of Raisin river between 1784 and 1792. The home remains one of the oldest in Ontario.

La maison de sir John Johnson est située dans le village de Williamstown. Construite en 1792, elle est l’un des plus anciens bâtiments de la province. Cette maison s’insère dans l’histoire du peuplement du Canada; elle constitue de plus un bel exemple de l’architecture de l’époque.
