If you’re looking for something fun and incredibly informative to do, you’re a Brampton enthusiast, or you’re curious about the city’s history and future, you’re in luck – a walking tour is set to hit Brampton very soon.

The Brampton Heritage Board and Historical Society are hosting Historic Brampton Walking Tours.

“How and when did Gage Park originate? Who lives in the Alderlea Mansion? Art Moderne architecture? See & learn about Brampton’s very first apartment building. City Hall addition? Where did that come from,” describes the group on the City of Brampton’s website.

The event will be held on August 10 at 11 a.m and last around 30 minutes. Participants are required to meet at 12 Main Street North; Luckily, the event is free.

“Gaze upon our historic architecture. Tread the very path walked upon by Bramptonians more than a century ago. Journey through time and experience Brampton’s past,” says the Brampton Heritage Board and Historical Society.

Though many of us know that Brampton has a rich legacy of cultural heritage, it is important to see Brampton’s history as its past role as the capital or county seat of the former Peel County.

Much of Brampton’s heritage is linked to its historical roots as the “Flowertown of Canada,” which has been revived and re-established under the City’s Flower City Strategy.

Participants will be visiting Gage Park (Brampton’s first park), Alderlea Mansion (a private estate built between 1865 and 1879), City Hall and the Park Royal Apartments (Brampton’s first apartment building).
