People/Subject

Dixon House and Barn

The Dixon House and Barn was built between 1916 and 1918 by Bill Maxwell and Roy Hallack for Mr. and Mrs. Herbert C. Dixon. In about 1935 the Dixons sold the property to Mr. and Mrs. William Cumming, and in 1958 Catherine and John Vander Vegte purchased the farm from Mrs. Cumming. John renovated the barn, which had wooden aisles, gutters and mangers. Concrete was poured and they milked 20 Guernsey cows as the first herd. They then switched to Holsteins and ran the dairy farm until about 1968, when they auctioned off the cows and sold then quota. They then raised heifers until they moved into a condo in 1977. John passed away in 2003, and in 2004 Catherine sold the farm to the Township of Langley.
