Best History Museum in Vaughan

"If the Distillery District is a time capsule to 19th-century industrial Toronto, this open-air heritage museum is a snapshot of rural life in that same era. About 19mi (30km) north of the city center and an even longer trip back in time, Black Creek Pioneer Village recreates life in 1867 with restored homes, stores, farms, churches and schools, plus a dedicated crew of costumed villagers. At 15 Canadian dollars ($11.44) for adults and 11 dollars ($8.39) for children, it’s the cheapest ticket to a time machine."

"This living-history village recreates the 1860s with more than 30 restored buildings and such craftsmen as tinsmiths, blacksmiths, millers, clock-makers, and weavers selling their wares. Visitors will also find demonstrations of spinning, hearth cooking, and quilting. The butcher, the baker and the candlestick maker prove how modern life may feel busier than ever, but in may ways, we have it easy."

"A tribute to the Toronto area's pioneering roots, take a trip back in time to 1860 and see what life was like."

"If you’re a fan of historical romance, you’ll love planning a shoot in Spadina Museum. Its delicate terrace and sprawling gardens will make your pictures look classy yet unique. It’s the perfect place for wedding photoshoots because the mansion evokes the feeling of being in a romance novel."

"The Toronto Post Office was built sometime in the 1800s, and it served as a post office (duh) back in the day. It’s now a designated National Historic Site of Canada, and it’s a pretty building you won’t hear much about. You’ll find a few other beautiful Victorian-style buildings located on Toronto Street as well!"

"It is worth visiting just for the fact that there are not many historical buildings in and around Toronto. Montgomery's Inn once served as a shelter, community hub and restaurant right up until 1850 when one of the original owners, Margaret Montgomery died. Now it is a great place to go with the kids to get a glimpse at a yesteryear when life was not entirely dependent on technology."

"This hidden treasure on Brimley Road might be one of the best insights into how early settlers lived when they arrived in Scarborough, before it became on the biggest suburbs in the 20th century. Set off a series of trails and greenery of the Thomson Memorial Park, this series of four buildings is especially beautiful in the summertime."

"Taking your kids to the historic home of one of Toronto's first architects may seem laughable. Have we met your children?. Gazing at watercolours is hardly a hobby of theirs."

"If you think you’ve tried every macaron flavour out there, think again. This new spot in Toronto has mastered the art of creative cooking. They’ve got all the classics like creme brûlée and matcha, plus some crazy picks like cheeseburger and corn."

"Their dishes are delicious, generously portioned, and a good price. The flavours are authentic and very, very tasty.This was our second..."

"Have breakfast either at hotel, grab it on the run at a Tim Hortons, Starbucks or sit down at the Sunset Grill, for a standard breakfast at a reasonable price. Get oriented to Toronto with a hop-on, hop-off bus tour: great value for a short stay as your ticket includes transportation and a narrated guided tour of the city. Book a Toronto Hop-On, Hop-Off Tour with Viator. This tour's first bus leaves from Yonge-Dundas Square and the pass is good for three consecutive days."
