A Walk through Toronto's Old Town
Rebecca Rizzo, Toronto's First Post Office & Town of York Historical Society
"Explore the Town of York on foot with our Museum Coordinator! Imagine a Toronto where the tallest building is only three stories high, where Lake Ontario reaches Front Street, where the wagon wheels grind through the muddy roads, the air smells of smoke and animal, and the surrounding lands is farms, fields, and forests.
In this walking tour, explore the surviving built environment of the original 10 blocks of Toronto and learn about what life was like for its early residents.
The tour begins on the steps of St. James Cathedral (facing King Street East) and ends at Toronto's First Post Office (260 Adelaide Street East). It will run rain or shine! "
