Bata Shoe Museum
The Bata Shoe Museum opened in 1995 on the premise(前提)that "footwear is a source of delight and reflection of human history". The space was designed by Raymond Moriyama. Permanent collection includes 12000 pairs of shoes and artifacts. Notable shoes are those belonging to Marilyn Monroe, Princess Diana, Elton John and Madonna.
Campbell House
Campbell House was built in 1822 by Sir William Campbell-chief justice of Upper Canada from 1825～1829. Campbell lived in the house for 12 years before he died. The house was occupied by various other families and used for various other uses (vinegar factory, glassworks). In 1972 in order to preserve the building, the Advocate's Society moved from its location on Adelaide St to its current home at Queensland University. The building was restored to be as historically accurate as possible.
Gibson House Museum
The Gibson House Museum is an example of Georgian architecture. It was built in the mid 19th century as a farm house for David Gibson-a-member of the Legislative Assembly. After being used as a boarding house for many years, the building interior was restored. The museum has a hands-on "discovery gallery" with interactive(互动的)games and exhibits. On weekends workshops are offered on cooking, desserts, breads and preserves.
Black Creek Pioneer Village
Black Creek is a recreation of a Victorian Farm with buildings moved and reconstructed from around Ontario. The result is a 1860s Ontario village. Exhibits demonstrate how domestic tasks were completed before modern technology. Activities include spinning, baking, and a history lesson.
Historical interpreters dress in the clothing of the period and answer visitors' questions. Favorite destinations in the village include the farm, doctor's house, and the mill. At the historic brewery, beer is brewed using all natural ingredients. The restaurant serves meals using locally sourced ingredients. On site are also areas for concerts and gift shop. Black Creek is operated by the Toronto and Region Conservation (TRCA).
