and Twitter These social media sites are fueled with facts, pictures, and other interesting stuff by the staff at Fort York and by the Friends of Fort York. Seamless, co-operative, and fully supportive of Toronto’s birthplace, now 218 years strong! Established by Lieutenant-Governor John Graves Simcoe in 1793, Fort York was attacked by the Americans on 27 April 1813 and burned to the ground. Rebuilt in 1814-16, it contains seven of the city’s oldest buildings today. Visitors can watch drills by the Guard, sample 19th-century cooking in our kitchens, listen to a lecture, attend concerts, and much more. In 2012-14 the Fort York National Historic Site will be action-central for commemorations of the single most important day in Toronto’s history.
