Description
Inside the Museums views Toronto’s heritage museums for the first time as a single community — linked by events, personalities, and function. In this special excerpt we visit Campbell House, 160 Queen Street West, at the northwest corner with University Avenue, where judge Sir William Campbell (the judge of William Lyon Mackenzie’s trial), built his dream home in 1822. John Goddard takes us on a detailed tour of the house, providing fascinating historical background and insight.
