This is a great way to learn more about the history of Toronto and what life was like in the early history of the city. The guide was extremely knowledgeable with lots interesting facts about both Toronto history and the house itself. If you are into small intimate museums then this is the place for you. More

(Computer translation from German)  "Toronto's best - do it!" - Friedrichshainer1034 Campbell House Toronto Overall rating: It is worthwhile to take some time for this unassuming building. To Toronto from times past to understand better is the Campbell House, as well as the First PostOffice Toronto country badly.

The Campbell House is on Queen Street and is a very short walk to Nathan Phillips Square where the Old and New City hall buildings are located which makes visiting all these places in short order. The Campbell name comes from its first owner who was a prominent justice in early Toronto. To gain entrance and have a tour guide... More
