Abstract
Inside the Museums views Toronto’s heritage museums for the first time as a single community — linked by events, personalities, and function. In this special excerpt we visit Colborne Lodge, well known to visitors to Toronto’s High Park. The home of prolific architect, surveyor, and engineer John Howard, as a museum, Colborne Lodge stands out for its original paintings and domestic gadgets. John Goddard takes us on a detailed tour, providing fascinating historical background and insight.
