Mackenzie House Museum

82 Bond St., Toronto, Canada

About the company:

The Politics House Museum is located in the Ontario area. The three-storey building is made in the style of Georgian black brick architecture. On the facade of the building there is a memorial plate stating that Mackenzie lived in this house.

The building was built in the late XIX century. In 1837, caught in the thick of the revolution against state reforms, the mayor was forced to flee the city. He returned to Toronto after 20 years and settled in a house on Bond Street. That's where he died. After his death, they wanted to demolish the house, but his grandchildren and great-grandchildren defended him.

Legend has it that Mackenzie’s spirit still lives there. There are witnesses who have repeatedly seen his ghost.

At the end of the XX century, a museum was made from the house. There are personal belongings of the former mayor, correspondence with friends, portraits, clothes. The museum's most important exhibit is the Seventh Report of Complaints Against Political Reform, which he personally sent to the Upper Canada Assembly.
