The fourth Markham Cycles More theme is: Historic Markham!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The theme runs from August 28 to September 10th and is all about exploring Markham’s rich past. Did you know that Markham has over 80 buildings that are 170 years old or older? For example, Sunnyside Manor was built in 1816, and bought in 1930 for $100,000 by the grandson of Theodor Heintzman, who founded the Heintzman Piano Company. The mansion is now called Heintzman House. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many historic buildings have been preserved in place, but when that’s not possible, a few have been moved to Markham Heritage Estates – an interesting neighbourhood at 16th Ave west of Markham Rd, full of historic homes that people are still living in today! It’s another one of our Markham Cycles More photo stops for this theme. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As always, we’re looking for suggestions on how to improve the cycling network and where to add bike parking. Send us photos with your ideas to earn extra entries in the draw! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
