spadina museum: This opportunity feels like a teachable moment, according to NOW Magazine. On occasion, I've had to field visitor's questions about the city's newness. You can keep your coins at Colborne Lodge, Fort York National Historic Site, Gibson House Museum, Mackenzie House, Market Gallery, Montgomery's Inn, Scarborough Museum, Spadina Museum and Todmorden Mills. These are tourists from places with deep histories, like Barcelona 2,000 years deep, and there's an air of haughtiness when they stack that up against the city we know as Toronto's relatively measly 224 years.I've often wished I was armed with solid facts that speak to our complex history. But true to form for a city whose denizens hesitate to travel lengths along the subway line, I've never visited the history museums to up my education. Mentioning that Indigenous peoples have inhabited the land the city sits on for at least 10,000 years is a solid start.
