Community museums like this should be added to our (now very long) <a href=\"https:\/\/spacing.ca\/toronto\/2009\/03\/05\/challenge-175-reasons-why-we-love-toronto\/\">challenge post on Thursday<\/a> where we asked readers to tell us what they love about Toronto. So many cities don&#8217;t have any civic museum to speak of, but Toronto has many very local ones. Take a look at their website &#8212; they&#8217;ve already got over 60 hours of oral history videos and 250 artefacts from the area &#8212; and if you&#8217;re interested in getting involved they are always looking for volunteers.<\/p>\n<p>The fundraiser event&#8217;s speaker, Karolyn Smartz Frost, will be talking, in part, about her book &#8220;I&#8217;ve Got a Home in Glory Land&#8221; that details the lives of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lostrivers.ca\/points\/blackburn.htm \">Lucie and Thornton Blackburn<\/a>, escaped fugitive slaves who emmigrated to Toronto\u00a0 in the year of it&#8217;s founding and eventually started Toronto&#8217;s (and Upper Canada&#8217;s) first cab company. The image above is an &#8220;1840ish painting of Thornton Blackburn&#8217;s distinctive yellow horse-drawn cab pelting down King Street&#8221; and is certainly yet another of Toronto 175&#8217;s historical bits to celebrate.<\/p>\n<p><strong>WHAT<\/strong>: Cabbagetown-Regent Park Museum Fundraiser:<\/p>\n<p><strong>WHEN<\/strong>: Saturday, March 28, 2009, 3-5 pm<\/p>\n<p><strong>WHERE<\/strong>: Daniel Lamb House, 156 Winchester Street<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>Award-winning author, tenacious archaeologist, and celebrated historian,<a href=\"http:\/\/www.halifaxwritersfest.com\/html\/karolyn_smardz_frost.html\"> Karolyn Smartz Frost<\/a>, will be giving a talk, Cabbagetown as the Promised Land?\u00a0 The Story of Lucie &amp; Thornton Blackburn, to support the work of the Cabbagetown-Regent Park Museum in Toronto.<\/p>\n<p>The event will be held at historic Daniel Lamb House, 156 Winchester Street, in the heart of Cabbagetown.\u00a0 Enjoy a great talk.\u00a0 Meet the author.
