Campbell House Museum

Passed by here on a Friday early afternoon (Dec 9, 2022). Currently it's be pay-what-you-can until December 23 to accommodate holiday programming and private events. Usually admission is $10 for adults, half price for youth and seniors, free for 12 and younger. Highly recommend a visit. The staff gave a really detailed tour of the house, its history and other fun tidbits. I had visited during open door events prior to the pandemic and the tour then was a lot less detailed because of the crowd. I'll definitely be on the look out next Christmas for tickets to a Christmas Carol at the museum next year.

The textile art exhibit was interesting at the Campbell House Museum during my visit, certainly worth a peek during the Toronto open doors weekend event. It was also interesting to learn that the house was not built there but it was moved from another area of Toronto.

First of all, we had an amazing tour of the building and what a fascinating story this building plays in the story of Toronto. Visitors and locals alike should take the chance to visit this location. It is a tiny gem that can be enjoyed in a number of ways - as newbies and tourists in Toronto - it was just such an interesting experience to learn about how the house moved to it's new spot Interesting interior!

We visited the museum during the Doors Open Toronto and we were impressed by how organized the event was. We arrived before 11am and there were a few people ahead of us, so we didn’t wait so much to get in.The house and furnitures were beautiful and well-maintained. Be mindful not to touch or sit on them since they’re rather old.There was also an art exhibition that we enjoyed while walking around the house.

Thanks to Diane for a great presentation about the history of the Campbell family and historical tidbits about Toronto - very knowledgeable. There was a nice exhibition - 'Colour with a U' - of quilts and textile works hung throughout the house. I found the rooms a bit bare, but maybe they were cleared for the event. Turns out they have events throughout the year - put yourself on the emailing list. I must have walked past this place a million times, but I'm glad I finally came in to have a look. Small but nice gardens. Thanks to Canada Life insurance and the Law Society for making the efforts to save this old but important part of Toronto.

I visited Campbell House Museum in May 2023. Both the inside and the outside of the house are beautiful! Tickets can be bought at the entrance and the person working there is very knowledgeable about the history of the house and the people who lived there. At that moment, there was an art exhibition going on inside the house (no extra fee charged) which was lovely. Seeing the museum takes a short time (1 hour max.) and it is definitely worth visiting!

I visited the museum on my most recent visit to Toronto. They had pay-what-you-will admission. I had a great tour guide who was very friendly and knowledgeable, and had answers for all the questions I had. I’d recommend if you’re looking for a cheaper/less busy museum to visit.

Couldn't go inside as it was closed and it was really late in the evening but the view from outside is equally good. You can get some amazing photos with backdrop of this 18th century house.

The museum hosted a Titanic Tea and Book event for Titanic 111 anniversary of its sink. The setting is gorgeous and the story telling is attractive. Wonderful! I am glad to join this museum event.
