About the Tour

Led by archaeologists, this tour will follow the ancient path of a portion of the Carrying Place trail and trace the Indigenous presence along the Humber River in Baby Point, including settlements like the 17th-century Seneca village of Teiaiagon. This tour will address the area’s colonization and early 20th-century transformation into a garden-inspired residential community by developer Robert Home Smith.

This tour was developed and will be led by ASI.
