Welcome to
A Historic Tour of Markham
This website is designed to
give you several different tours of the Town of Markham. It will provide to
you, a light hearted way to learn about the first community to receive the
Prince of Wales Award for built form.
We are just as proud of our heritage as we are to be nicknamed ‘The High Tech Capital of Canada. We truly
live our motto: “Leading While Remembering”.
I have been conducting historic tours in the area for a decade and a half. Much of the information
has been provided by research, but I’ve also included some of the stories that
have been told to me by people who have been on my tours. If you have a story
or some information, please contact me and share it.
The site is still under
construction and is growing, so come back often. Thank you to the Staff at
Heritage Markham and the Markham Museum, as well as all those who have
contributed. And a special thanks to Phil Howes, who created the templates for
the site, and fixes things when I break them.
Please click on one of the Tours on the left and enjoy.
