NOTE FROM DOCENT MARILYN
SPEARIN:

Hello walkers.  
 Friday 13Sept looks to be a nice
 warm day, so we could walk 
among the trees in beautiful
 Wychwood Park. The walk takes
 about 1 1/2 hours as we 
identify the houses by architect
 Eden Smith, and the homes of
 the Toronto artists of the
 early 20th century.  The pond
 might have turtles or ducks. 
 Don't worry, no witches in 
Wychwood, even on Friday the
 13th!   The park was named 
after the forest of Wych Elms
 that park founder Marmaduke
 Mathews knew as a boy.  
And there are Wych Elms here, too.
Send an email if you would
 like to join us, and when
 4 or more people say they 
 are interested, I will confirm
 the meeting place. 
The time will be 2pm on Friday 
Sept. 13 for a peaceful walk
 in the park.
A leaflet about the walk will
 be available for $5, and 
donations to support the 
Tollkeeper's Cottage are welcome.
Hope to walk with you soon!
Marilyn!

Hope to see new and old walkers soon.

Here are some of the tours we do:
Seaton Village 
  – including its Black history
the West Annex 
  – with Jane Jacob’s house
the Christie Pits area 
  – Koreatown, unusual houses, the Riot
Tarragon Village 
  – with Baldwin and George Brown
Wychwood Park 
  – with or without turtles
Casa Loma – with very grand stables
If you would care to join us for
 a guided walk through Seaton Village,
 the West Annex, or many other
 interesting areas nearby,
 send us a message at
 tollkeeperscottage@gmail.com to be
 added to the list of those we 
contact when a walk or two are imminent!

Our walks are for anyone interested.
 As we conduct these walks 
as part of our efforts to
 support the operation of
 the Tollkeeper's Cottage,
 we suggest a donation of $10.
