Toronto's First Post Office Museum

Toronto's First Post Office Museum is Canada's oldest surviving purpose-built post office still in operation, in the heart of Toronto's historic St. Lawrence Old Town neighbourhood. Operated by the Town of York Historical Society, Toronto's First Post Office Museum tells the stories of 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.

As a registered National Historic Site, we fulfill the original intended purpose of the building by operating a fully functioning Post Office inside our location and are an authorized dealer of Canada Post. We also offer a curated Stationery Gift Shop that features local and Canadian artists.
