Durward's Glen is a historic property located in the town of Caledonia, Columbia County, Wisconsin, northeast of the village of Merrimac.

Durward had been born in Montrose, Scotland, emigrating to the United States in 1842, and finally settling in Wisconsin in 1845.

[4] Before moving to the glen, he was a painter in Milwaukee whose compositions included portraits and works with religious themes.

Among his portraits were those of local notables, including Solomon Juneau, Byron Kilbourn, and Archbishop John Henni.

[6] To supplement their income, they also engaged in truck farming, selling their fruits and vegetables in local markets.

[7] After the chapel, known as "St. Mary's of the Pines", burned in 1923, it was restored by the Madison council of the Knights of Columbus in the late 1920s.
