Power to shed question

I need to run power to the shed behind our house. There was originally power there but when we put the new foundation under our house, we cut the line. All I'm looking for is to run some lights and an occasional power tool (nothing like a welder or high powered compressor or anything like that).

The shed is a 2 story wood frame structure, built over 110 years ago (not sure if that makes a difference).

Do I need to install a subpanel in the shed or can I just run a single circuit off my main panel in the house ? The shed is approximately 10' from the house and 50' from the main panel (the main panel is on the opposite end of the house).

Not looking to do this right away, but it would be nice to get some lights back into the shed sometime.

Thanks!
