Historic Photos of Summer in Mississauga
June 21, 2018
Although weather-wise it already feels like its here, today is the first day of Summer. In celebration, Peel Art Gallery, Museum and Archives (PAMA) has pulled a few fun summer archives shots from the Mississauga vaults to get us pumped and reminisce on summers past.
Lakeshore Road was often referred to as the Toronto-Hamilton Highway in its early years.
The Cooksville Fair, at the Toronto Township hall, around 1890.
The beach at Port Credit, around 1910.
