Historic House
Four generations of the wealthy Austin family have their impact on the city represented between the walls of the Spadina Museum, which is filled with exquisite furniture and décor that captures the local art scene from the 1860s through the 1930s. The museum also hosts special events like the annual Strawberry Festival, Music in the Orchard, and tours throughout the year.
