Lonely Planet review

Built in 1858, this brown brick rowhouse was owned by William Lyon Mackenzie, the city's first mayor and the leader of the failed Upper Canada Rebellion of 1837. Inside is a museum, a recreated printshop and gallery featuring changing exhibitions. Check out the brass door knocker, presented to Mackenzie in 1859 after his return from exile in America.

Handmade 'Mackenzie: Rebel with a Cause' T-shirts and reproductions of the 'ye olde' variety are sold in the gift shop.
