Scadding Cabin

Like every year guests celebrated the Scadding Cabin, Toronto’s oldest house! They travelled back in time through a remarkable series of informal lectures presented by the York Pioneer & Historical Society, and learned about the historical importance of the building and the land on which our immigrant fore-fathers lived through various engaging presentations.
