Text from the Plaque
In this house Daniel Fowler, a well known nineteenth century Canadian artist, lived for over forty years. Born in England he first took up law, but on the death of his father studied art under the English water colour painter, J.D. Harding. As a result of ill health he came to Canada in 1843 and settled on this farm on Amherst Island. His subjects ranged from landscapes to still life, and his work was marked by originality and a strong sense of colour. In 1879 he became one of the first members of the Royal Canadian Academy.
