Feeling Historic?

City Hall is filled with educational treasures and artifacts, and City Hall Ambassadors offer an uplifting and informative tour, while building historical awareness and civic pride.
This very popular program features approximately 40 dedicated volunteers who share the incredible history of the City of Kingston, the artifacts within City Hall, and the personalities engaged in Canada’s First Capital.
