Best History Museum in Nashville

"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."

"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."

"Spadina Museum is one of 10 historic museums operated by the City of Toronto offering family events and kids programs throughout the year."

"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!"

"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."

"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."

"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!"

"If you’re in the mood for something sweet, light, and fluffy as a cloud, Hanabusa’s Japanese soufflé style pancakes will do the trick. Their pancakes are made in an open kitchen where customers can enjoy watching the whole process and their sauces are all made fresh in-house. Featuring pancake flavours such as matcha, nutella and strawberry cream cheese, their most famous signature pancake combo is a custard pancake and earl grey caramel pancake."

"To start an energetic day in the Aloft Vaughan Mills area, you need to have a good breakfast. So why not boom your day in Boom Breakfast?. They have 3 locations, and Vaughan’s branch is the largest one, which seats 80 plus guests and an additional 40 during the summer patio season."

"Why go: If brunch means a classic deli experience—look no further than this Thornhill staple. Open since the 80s, Centre Street Deli is a timeless Jewish deli with all the hits, great flexibility to meet all your breakfast plate needs, and a matzo ball soup that will warm the soul. What to order: Hand-cutsmoked meat, corned beef, smoked fish and a plate of latkes (the original hash brown)."

"Centre Street Deli is highly recommended in Vaughan if you like authentic Montreal smoked meat. This old school diner in Thornhill has all the favourite sandwiches, burgers, salads, and pasta but the stand out is their large selection of deli items. The Deli Mild Meat is cut thick."

"In the 1970s, there was an exodus of Jews from Montreal to Toronto. By the 1980s, many had migrated north to Thornhill. This deli was built to cater to that population."
