Explore the roots of Toronto in and around the St. Lawrence Market, with stops at a hanging square, Toronto’s first post office and a grand vaudeville theatre. Wander into the building where Toronto’s first mayor held court, find street corner where electric lights lit up the night for the first time, and stroll through a park dedicated to a notorious spy.

You’ll see historical hot spots for actors, abolitionists and rabble-rousing speakers, plus where Toronto’s fiery first Mayor laid down the law and much more!

Tickets are $55.00 + HST per person for everything your group will need to enjoy the hunt.
