What people say

Amazing historical place as this is Toronto's oldest existing post office. The staff are very friendly and we got to enjoy writing letters in ink with a quill pen as well as getting them wax sealed. Definitely recommend visiting it to learn more about the history of Toronto as well as early mail services in Canada.

Visited today. Lovely exhibits of postal history in Toronto. Lovely merchandise for sale. Even the permanent stamps I was looking for were available. Great place.
