My partner and I decided to visit Mackenzie House to learn more about our city and spent about an hour and a half there. What a hidden treasure!
While it's not a large place by any means, this lovingly restored house and print shop will give you a sense of what it was like to be a middle-class family in 1860s Toronto. What we appreciated most were the tour guides - they were friendly, very knowledgeable, and enthusiastic about local history and William Lyon Mackenzie's place in it.
The mulled cider and ability to try the printing press (under supervision) were added bonuses. Would definitely go again.
