Toronto Cemetery Tours

Reliving Toronto history by exploring the fascinating stories buried in our cemeteries.

It is that time of year when @TOCemeteryTours teams up with Mount Pleasant Group to tour our beautiful home at The Necropolis! Now where did I put that red carpet?

This is an absolute disgrace. 🤬

“Arlington National Cemetery has scrubbed from its website information and educational materials about the history of black and female service members” is the most shameful, disgraceful, dangerous thing I’ve read in the last 24 hours. #impeachtrumpvance

@notsmoothsteve Steve! We've been trying to get ahold of you about your extended warranty.... Actually I want to invite you to join our history group. If you email [email protected] I can send you the details of our next meet up.

[Mount Pleasant Group @MPGC_GTA]

On Sept 14, Mount Pleasant Cemetery hosted the Fall History Walk with historian Chantal Morris of @tocemeterytours. Over 350 attendees enjoyed a beautiful day of storytelling, learning about figures like Walt Grealis & Trixie Worsley. Thanks to the team for making it a success!

Join me at the #Necropolis #Cemetery on May 11 as part of the Festival of Bizarre Toronto History, curated by Adam Bunch of @TODreamsProject . While you can buy a ticket just for my tour, I seriously suggest attending the entire festival because who doesn't love #bizarrehistory?

A real photo postcard view of King City Cemetery, Ontario, circa 1910.

The most interesting part of the image for me, and something I'm sure @Graveyard_arch and @ReporterWarren will appreciate, is the view of the 1887 octagonal deadhouse in the top left corner. #cemeteries

[Adam Bunch @TODreamsProject]

There are strange stories hidden among the gravestones of Mount Pleasant Cemetery. Tomorrow, we'll head out in search of them...

It'll be Day Six of The Festival of Bizarre Toronto History — with @TOCemeteryTours!
