Best History Museum in Brampton

"A must for those interested in learning more about the history of the city and its surroundings, Black Creek Pioneer Village lies just half an hour’s drive northwest of the center. A popular place to visit, the huge open-air heritage museum shines a light on what rural life in Ontario was like during the early nineteenth century. Founded in 1960, the village now has more than forty wonderfully well-restored historic buildings that include a church, blacksmiths, and schoolhouse among others."

"Step into another world in the 19th century by visiting Black Creek Pioneer Village. This heritage museum is a welcome alternative to screaming at the kids "Get some fresh air!" You can collectively breathe in a simpler time. There are 35 restored buildings from the 1860s, showcasing dying arts such as milling, quilting and hearth cooking."

"Time machines might not yet be part of our world, but you can experience a bygone era of Canada when you come to Black Creek Pioneer Village. This is a museum that puts you in the shoes of someone living in the 19th century. You can really get a sense of what people did to get by during these rougher times."

"Atop the Baldwin Steps, this gracious home and its Victorian-Edwardian gardens were built in 1866 as a country estate for financier James Austin and his family. Donated to the city in 1978, it became a museum in 1984 and was recently painstakingly transformed to evoke the heady age of the 1920s and '30s: highly recommended."

"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."

"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!"

"Revival Bar has been entertaining guests, visitors and fans with the best in live musical performances, the hottest DJs, live theatre, comedy since 2002."

"If the name isn’t enough to entice you to visit Toronto’s Coffee Oysters Champagne, than the aesthetic definitely will be!. COC is an adorable pink and gold themed oyster bar & coffee shop that will have you feeling like you walked into a dream. Pop by for oysters and a glass of champagne before snapping photos of this adorable pink place in Toronto."

"The first thing that we have to acknowledge this spot for is their website URL, sipshucksip.com. I mean, that’s pretty fantastic for a spot that serves champagne and oysters, right?. If you’re looking for a fancy spot that will make you feel like you’re in The Great Gatsby, then this King Street West institution has you covered."

"Doing three simple things very well: coffee, oysters, and champagne!. While shucking and sipping, guests can enjoy this alluring space filled with playfully pink details and a luxurious champagne cellar. The floors are beautifully tiled with COC spelled in miniature grey hexagon shapes."

"Take a guided tour around Elgin & Winter Garden Theatres – Toronto’s best-kept secret. This double-decker theatre is the last operating one in the world, making it even more impressive!. Go behind-the-scenes at Elgin & Winter Garden Theatres to take a closer look and learn about its fascinating history. You will be surprised how different the old-fashioned Elgin Theatre is from the forest-like Winter Garden Theatre on the upper level."

"This restored masterpiece is the world's last operating Edwardian double-decker theater. Celebrating its centennial in 2013, the Winter Garden was built as the flagship for a vaudeville chain that never really took off, while the downstairs Elgin was converted into a movie house in the 1920s. Fascinating tours run Mondays at 5pm and Saturdays at 10am. "

"It might not look like much from the outside and it gets sorely overlooked by its neighbour Nathan Phillips Square. But in the spring it’s a perfect place to find cherry blossoms and in the fall it’s a blaze with fall colours. But it’s the inside that holds the secret photo spots and unless you’re a law student there are few chances that you’ll wander its halls."

"Osgoode Hall is located right next to Nathan Phillips Square, and it’s always a neat spot for taking Instagram photos in Toronto. When the flowers bloom in the spring, Osgoode Hall is absolutely gorgeous!. Of course it’s pretty here all year round, but the vibrant spring flowers definitely make it even more special."

"This heritage park is centred around the Historic Baker House which was built in 1953 and gives visitors a glimpse of Upper Canada when it settled when Lieutenant Governor John Graves Simcoe put lots up along Yonge Street for sale. Right next to the house is a large woodlot (Baker's Woods) where you'll often find dog walkers, hikers, and runners. In the woods you'll find an inner and outer circuit that you can take."
