Here’s a great way to experience one aspect of Toronto life in the early 1800s, as Fort York is the country’s largest collection of remaining War of 1812 structures. Reconstructed after a major battle in April 1813, the fort now has several authentic structures still intact, including two square blockhouses, two sets of soldier barracks, two magazines, officers’ barracks and the outer gate. Built to be practical more than aesthetic, Fort York still brings history back to life. It takes 35-40 minutes to get there from the Loft.
