We have been going to High Park over 20+ years but never went into this museum. It’s was very interesting to learn more about High Park history.

From Colborne Lodge:

Colborne Lodge, now a museum, is the historic 1837 home of John and Jemima Howard, the couple who founded High Park. It is a rare North American example of a Regency picturesque building, which is more common in Britain. Designed to compliment the natural world, Colborne Lodge sits comfortably among High Parks beauty and includes 19th-century recreated gardens, a Coach House and the Howards' Tomb. The muse um also displays much of the Howard's original furnishings and watercolours. Following Howard's death in 1890, the property and surrounding land was donated to the City of Toronto with the condition that the surrounding land would remain free to use, remain untouched and be used exclusively for the enjoyment of residents.

It’s an important part of the community

Thank you for keeping the community together and sharing this beautiful place with us all. We owe to the Howard family 💕

Our tour guide Julianna was amazing - so knowledgeable, friendly and patient! She went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. The museum had some really interesting artifacts and it was fascinating to hear all about the historic background of the park within the city. Thanks for a wonderful afternoon Julianna!

Fun experience for us! Catherine (the tour guide) was knowledgeable about every little thing/detail about the house and its history. She’s wonderful! We were just randomly walking and weren’t planning on doing this visit because we didn’t know about it but we were like, why not! So glad we went 😇

A nice little piece of local history available for free to the public, with guided tours several times daily.  I would recommend though that they advertise a bit more and also find a way to appeal to the younger crowd.  Perhaps some sort of games or scaveger hunt could achieve this.  Still, all in all an important part of Toronto's history.

The Colborne Lodge has reopened after renovations, and it is open from Wednesday to Sunday during guided tours offered at 11.30, 1.30 and 3.30. Admission is free.
It is a delightful place to visit. guided tours are lead by knowledgeable staff who shares history of the building and its inhabitants (Mr and Mrs Howard who purchased the land in 1830s, and whose endowment originated what we now call the High Park).
The rooms are restored to look like they did nearly 200 years ago. While the original furniture and decorations were lost, the house is full of authentic beautiful artefacts from that period.
The Coach House (right next door) remains open (also Wed-Sun) from 11am to 4pm. It houses  some temporary displays (currently: medicine of the Victorian era) and a permanent exhibit  dedicated to John G. Howard, his professional achievements and  also history of Toronto.
The Museum also offers special seasonal events - like upcoming Victorian Christmas Ghost Stories at Colborne Lodge (December 7,8 and 14,15).
