It's a combination of different styles of architecture, a bit of a different feeling, with very beautiful architectural structure to come here and be attracted by all kinds of buildings.

It is a real post office so don’t expect it to be a big museum. But if you have time and just pass by, then please go in and spend a few minutes, write a letter with proper ink and paper, seal it in wax and send it to your family. I think it’s worth it!

In front of the post office, the flags of Britain and Canada are left and right. In 1833, all post office directors in Upper Canada were appointed by the United Kingdom. This post office was also the residence of the head of the post office at that time.

I took a guided tour of the museum, which includes interactive exhibits and displays showcasing the history of the postal service. I can also participate in hands-on activities such as writing a letter with a quill pen or using an old-fashioned postmark to stamp my own mail.Additionally, the Toronto First Post Office has a gift shop that sells a variety of postal-themed items, including stamps, postcards, and books. It's an excellent place to purchase unique souvenirs and gifts for friends and family
The first post office in Toronto is the only Department of the Royal Mail that has remained so far. The building was built from 1833 to 1834. The post office was called York Fourth Post Office and later Toronto First Post Office. Until 1876, the building was operated as a post office, and then it was transformed into a full-service post office and Museum managed by the Yorktown History Society.
