Montgomery's Inn, Historic Georgian inn museum in Etobicoke, Canada.
Montgomery's Inn is a two-story fieldstone building with Georgian architecture located in Etobicoke, Toronto. Its symmetrical facade displays classical details including sidelights and a fanlight above the main entrance, characteristic features of early Canadian construction.
Founded in 1832 by Irish immigrants Thomas and Margaret Montgomery, the inn served travelers along the Dundas Highway stagecoach route. Its establishment reflected the growing importance of this road during a period of increased travel and settlement in the region.
The building functions as a living history space where visitors can observe how an inn operated in the 1800s through demonstrations in the original kitchen and bar area. This hands-on approach helps people understand the daily rhythms and social life that unfolded within these walls.
The museum is open Wednesday through Sunday, allowing visitors to explore the restored rooms at their own pace. Located on Dundas Street West, it is readily accessible by public transportation and features manageable pathways for visitors with varying mobility needs.
A weekly farmers market operates year-round on Wednesdays at the site, continuing its long tradition as a gathering place for commerce and trade. This market connects local producers with residents in a way that echoes the original purpose the inn served for travelers and merchants.
