First Toronto Post Office, National historic site and active post office in Old Toronto, Canada.
The First Toronto Post Office functions as both a museum and postal facility in a late Georgian style building on Adelaide Street East.
This postal facility, established in 1833 before York became Toronto, represents Canada's oldest operating purpose-built post office under British Royal Mail.
The museum contains exhibits presenting the development of early Toronto through postal communication, featuring collections of letters and postal equipment.
Visitors can access postal services, rent P.O. boxes, purchase Canadian and USPS stamps, and participate in letter writing sessions with quill pens.
The structure maintains its original postal function while housing historical exhibits, enabling guests to send mail using a reproduction of Toronto's first cancel stamp.
