It was a perfect day for strolling around with my son and his wife - and walking her parents' dog!
It is always interesting to see several-hundred-year-old buildings still in use.
This former "planing mill" (once powered by the water-wheel above) is now a shopping mall...
I'm glad someone had the foresight to preserve this "island of history" in the middle of Toronto's urban sprawl...
We walked through this nearby park - with its riverside path.
Was this a favorite spot of local children in the early days of "Upper Canada"? Or was all the land just like this - a mixed forest - two hundred years ago? Come to think of it, every river and stream would have been a canoe highway back then. Boats were the fastest mode of travel! This river might have been full of logs - on their way to the planing mill.
