Lonely Planet review for Spadina Museum
This gracious museum was built in 1866 as a country estate for financier James Austin and his family. Lit by Victorian gaslights, the interior contains three generations of furnishings, art and fabrics. The working kitchen hosts cooking demonstrations by costumed workers, while Edwardian Teas, strawberry festivals and summer concerts are held in the apple orchard. When we visited, the museum was closed for re-restoration and was set to open with new exhibits on the 1920s. Parking costs $8.25.
