THE TOWN OF YORK HISTORICAL SOCIETY

Toronto, Ontario, M5A 1N1 Canada

Mission Statement

The Town of York Historical Society, through the operation of Toronto’s First Post Office, tells the stories of life in the town of York and the early city of Toronto (1793-1851). We help Toronto’s current residents and visitors to engage with these stories, particularly through the lens of community, communication, and built heritage.

About This Cause

Toronto’s First Post Office is a National Historic Site and museum operated by the Town of York Historical Society since 1983. Toronto’s First Post Office is the only interpretive centre for both the original site of the Town of York and early Toronto, and for Canadian postal history. There is no charge for admission, and the museum space is used daily as a community hub, by visitors to Toronto, residents, and groups to meet, read and write, or as part of an exploration of Toronto’s Old Town neighbourhood.
