About Doors Open
Doors Open actually has its roots in France. The first event was staged there in 1984. Within a few years, the Doors Open movement had spread to neighboring European Countries.
Today, there are events throughout Europe, Australia, South America and across North America.
The Ontario Heritage Trust held its first Doors Open in Ontario in 2002, to promote heritage tourism and to build awareness and pride in our community heritage treasures.
Through this program, architecturally significant buildings and other structures in more than forty Ontario communities threw their doors open for free tours, allowing the public to experience their beauty and history.
