À propos
To celebrate Culture Days 2024, join Toronto's First Post Office Museum and explore the Old Town of York on this self-guided walking tour. Based on the Museum's current temporary exhibit, visit the spots where some of the major riots, uprisings, and upsets occurred in the early 18th and 19th centuries and how their outcomes led to lasting societal and political changes, that still impact the City today. Each spot will be equipped with an audio recording and can be enjoyed in-person or virtually from the comfort of your home. Journey back in time and experience the dramatic history of Toronto!

Organisateur
Toronto's First Post Office Museum
Toronto's First Post Office Museum is Canada's oldest surviving purpose-built post office still in operation, in the heart of Toronto's historic St. Lawrence Old Town neighbourhood. Operated by a non-profit charity organization, the Town of York Historical Society, Toronto's First Post Office Museum tells the stories of the Town of York and the early City of Toronto (1793-1851). We help Toronto’s current residents and visitors to engage with these stories, particularly through the lens of community, communication, and built heritage.
As a registered National Historic Site, we fulfill the original intended purpose of the building by operating a fully functioning Post Office inside our location and are an authorized dealer of Canada Post. We also offer a curated Stationery Gift Shop that features local and Canadian artists and similar events to this throughout the year.
