Our friends at Montgomery's Inn want to let you know about their new outdoor guided tours that offer an opportunity to learn about the Inn's history from a new perspective, and with stories that might be less familiar.
Inns were at the very centre of their respective communities, providing conviviality and shelter, food and drink, and a safe place to share stories and ideas. Come walk with us where you will meet some of the people who traversed the grounds of Montgomery’s Inn and neighbouring Thomas Riley Park. From first peoples to settlers, and Chinese market gardeners like Willie Chung who was born at the Inn in 1937. Or farm hands like Joshua Glover whose flight to freedom along the underground railway would galvanize the abolitionist movement in the United States and inspire the formation of the Republican Party.
Walk features an exploration of nearby Mimico creek and includes a gentle paved slope and a short walk up a grassy hill.
HistoricTO is a time-ticketed, guided neighbourhood walking tour experience that connects Toronto's communities by providing equitable and inclusive access to local history, heritage and land-based learnings at Toronto History Museums.
Interiors will remain closed to the public until further notice. To help reduce the spread of COVID-19, HistoricTO program is designed following Toronto Public Health COVID-19 Guidance for Cultural & Heritage Institutions and Attractions guidelines.
Tour Length: 60 minutes
Admission: Pay-what-you-can (PWYC) with a suggested donation of $10
