Reviews of Montgomery's Inn (Museum)

Ian Konstantino

Great place to bring a class full of kids wanting to learn and bake the way they did in the older times. Loved it!

Suzanne Maltman

Great vendors downstairs at the Inn: organic meats & produce, honey & bee products, baked goods, sheep's milk yogurt, cheese & kefir, preserves, jams & jellies and more... Great value and support for Ontario farmers.

Erika Araujo

What a beutiful and historical place. I recommend to visit the farmer indoor market every Wednesday

Caroline Becker

Love the farmers market! They even have a fireplace - so cozy

Olena Volik

Nice place, but not that children friendly. Less overhead and more space for the kids to explore will be appreciated.

Jacqueline Cooper

Montgomery's Inn will always hold a special place in my husband's and I's heart. We decided it would be the perfect backdrop to host our wedding ceremony. Once we were able to coordinate with the staff, we knew that it was a perfect match for our big day. Everything came together beautifully and we are so happy to have chosen to exchange our vows in this magnificent historic home. Thank you so much to the staff for being apart of our special day, we couldn't have done it without you.

Ilia Binder

Nice local history museum, with a lot of activities for kids.

Jeremy Marentette

Currently undergoing renovations so it's a bit of a mess. Currently there are no 3rd party reservations for event space. Still worth the visit for the Farmers Market and Thirsty Thursdays.

KAREN Carey-Hill

Loved it!! Beautiful building, great staff, learned a lot about our history!

huii xiia

This is an unique place to visit, for kids, youth, adult and grand folks. Beautiful remodel and shows off the beauty of the traditional way of living without electronic. Tune in , follow the weekend news for farmer's market, youth program, interact with the first nation. Love this place.

Tade Credgeur

Cozy, historic setting for a wedding with a piano and nice outdoor spaces for photos. I have Officiated two weddings here and both times the staff were so genuine and sweet. It's a happy setting for a joyful event.

Real Canadian history

Nathan Bertrand

What a great place to see. The staff are passionate about the history of the Inn and the time that it was operating in.

Michael

Nice place, great people

Serwan Sheran

It looks a good museum but I couldn’t go inside it to see what’s there.

Serene Guan

The tour lady is amazing! We learnt about how the life was in the 1800s, how the wine was sealed and how people cook, got to see the kitchen and cooking environment. I liked the tour.

Adam M

Small heritage building. Okay for a visit but you will see everything in less than a hour.

Iva Pelaic

Best small farmers market.

Marie Darmanin

I come regularly to this locale for the farmer's market but I came on this occasion to listen to a band I'm familiar with. The music was great but the choice of room could have been better. Also the band had advertised there would be stew served but instead we were offered tiny pies. I would have preferred to have a meal at that time as opposed to a snack and prices were a bit too high. I realize this is the Inn's and not the band's doing. I hope to see this band back and things better organized next time.

Christina Ng

Thirsty Thursday sure is a fun event at the Inn. Great music and nice staff. Sure i would go again

Sara Pistilli

Is currently under renovations, however much of the inn is still open to public. The staff were friendly. The inn offers tea and snacks for free. The tea was good, the snacks were not my favourite. Others might like the crackers and cookies provided, but they were not for me?

Andy Macleod

Small early inn. Old europian for Canada

Adity Aggarwal

It was Gud place. My daughter liked it.

Daniela Cas

I love this place! The staff is very nice and it's a great space for corporate events. Would love to go back once construction is done!

Katrina Lorn

Neat little Museum, a visit can be as short as 20 mins. Also a great place to host small to medium sized events. The grounds are very pretty. Kinda difficult to reach with public transportation.

Elizabeth Willatt

Lovely preserved inn - our tour guide didn't seem to know much about the house, but the tea room was delightful.

Charlie Karsh

Gorgeous location, incredibly friendly staff and really interesting tour of the inn!

Melissa Knight

Very educational. Went with my sons beaver group. We had lots of fun.

Ina Anreiter

We went for thirsty Thursday's, it was lovely, they had some nice beer, a pretty good 5$ bowl of stew and live music in an 1800 setting.

Hugh MacArthur

Lovely location!

Claire Fletcher

Charming! Had the tour with a school group and it was delightful.

GHE-MAN (GHE-MAN)

Very friendly

Ash Hopkins

Was here for a free event - the tour guides really knew their stuff and everyone was super welcome and helpful. A beautiful place!

Carolynn Jaye

Superb place to visit. Plenty of parking, affordable, knowledgeable staff. Neat community programs too! If you enjoy local history lessons, I recommend a visit!

Em

I look forward to the Farmers Market every Wednesday

Patti Pokorchak

Booked the Briarly Room for an all day workshop. Had to reschedule two times and Rita was so patient with me. It's a beautiful room with natural light looking onto a peaceful green space. It's a great space for a small group and the staff are super helpful and accommodating. Highly recommend for the free parking, proximity to the TTC and super atmosphere in a beautifully restored and maintained historic museum building.

Lance Le Roux

I would highly recommend the tea service!

Lillian Marini

Great Wednesday farmers market.

Ben Kidd

It has that old building smell.

Eman Jayousi

Watched A Christmas Carol play there tonight by The Humber river theatre , it was a perfect setting and a lovely atmosphere !

Amy Reinhart

We attended a Halloween ghost tour event. It's a beautiful building with wonderful staff.

James Vrolyk

Lovely historic inn with authentic style drinks and foods during their monthly pub nights and weekly tea events. Staff are friendly and proud of their accomplishments, and with good reason.

Katie I

This is a really lovely place. The tea time is nice and the farmer's market is small but has quality products.

Christeena Samuel

This a neat Toronto Historical site to visit with your family. It really showcases 1800's living. However, if you want the best bang for your buck, go on Wednesday's when they have an awesome farmer's market happening throughout the house (and your enterance to the museum is free too). Look up the vendors (and try not to miss Holy Cannolis).

Vermin Lord

Quaint place with surprisingly knowledgeable staff. There could be more events which could create the ambience of the yesteryears more effectively.

Jeff Kilpatrick

Beautifully curated and maintained

Danielle Rabbat

Super neat historic house with a fantastic little Farmer's Market every Wednesday from 2-6. It takes place year round-outdoors in the summer and indoors in the summer. My kids also attended a fantastic Irish camp there and my family attended a tour of this old tavern. The history is quite fascinating.

Jeremiah McWhirter

Very cool historic site - lots of awesome stories about the early Toronto lifestyle. Staff is very knowledgeable, and their events are awesome! Definitely check them out on the last Thursday of the month (live music, roaring fire, historic food and drink, and an atmosphere that will make your heart glow!!)

Elizabeth Barota

I have loved this inn since I visited it as a child....a very very long time ago. I also love the tea and biscuits downstairs and have gone many times with my own children.

Nicole VanKampen

Just came back from Thirsty Thursday at Montgomery's Inn. What a great night! I felt like it was 1850! Great music and $5 Irish Stew and homemade bread and butter. A wonderful place to spend a chilly rainy night!

Ewa Paryz

(Translated) Great, it's nice. It brings us to the times of life, how people lived long ago. (Original) Super, jest miło. Przynosi nas do czasów życia,jak żyli ludzie dawno temu.

Alejandra Vandewalle

Very nice to learn a little about how was the life in the 1800's... Patricia, the tour lady was amazing! The place is under renovations and that's the only reason i don't give the 5 stars... but if you like to learn about the past this is a very good way to spend your afternoon, and if you take the tour on Wednesday you get the chance to get some delicious stuff at the Montgomery's farmers market ????

Paul Walker

Wednesday organic market, now year 'round & great!

Carson Don Lorde

Held our wedding reception here. Love the weekly farmers market.

AK

Wonderful place for curios people.

Mike Wrobel

Great space for a meeting. The team there is so easy to work with!

Steven Svilen Valkov

Enjoy hundreds of years of historical and cultural grea8

Erica Mezger

Always a great place to visit and explore.

Rod Henderson

We where very pleased that we went to see Montgomery's Inn. I myself have always been interested in History. There is a lot of articles in the house that are fascinating to look at and find out what they where used for. The lady doing the tour, was very well versed on the subject and knew the answer to everyone's questions. And she through a little humor in as well. I would suggest it is a good place to go, they even had a tea room in the basement with a large operating fireplace. All I can say is we loved it.

Mark Besz

A small snapshot to history, with fantastic small events and a wonderful Farmer's Market.

Dmytro Orzhekhovskyi

Reuben Bailey

Such a interesting and historic treasure in Toronto. It host cool events like pub night, farmer's Market ann all sorts of stuff. I strongly suggest stopping by!

Arts Etobicoke

We love partnering with Montgomery's Inn on local arts and food initiatives. They are an excellent and generous partner to work with and are always an exciting place for our youth artists to visit and draw inspiration from. We also love going to their farmer's market and buying delicious local food.

Norman Q

Went on St Patrick's Day. Had their homemade irish stew and bread which was good. Had a band there playing irish music which was fun. Staff were in costume and were friendly as well. They have a limit of how many people are allowed in the inn.

Jay Vagh

A really beautiful venue. It's so historic from the outside but the inside has a mix of modern and historical charm. The staff are really friendly and there's ample parking in the parking lot. Overall a very nice place to host an event

Tim Feller

Great programs and staff

Love this place. The grounds are beautiful and a great place for gatherings.

Taylor Jennings

Great piece of history in Etobicoke! Highly recommend!

Dubravko Zgrablić

Great place to visit, the concerts add even more to the pleasing visit. Currently undergoing a lot of renovations and updating, so many exhibits are not fully available (which is the only reason for missing the fifth star!).

Doug Middleton

An excellent peace of local history

Kimmer Nice! Prezio

Old but nice getting make over 180 years not bad.????????????????????

Martin Rosen

After looking at the amazing street murals nearby, well worth a visit to this historic landmark. Guides in period costume baking cookies on the old hearth and tea time in the dining area. They enjoy answering your questions and offering interesting tidbits of life in inns well before Holiday Inns.

Deborah Kuo

Lovely place to check out if you're in the neighborhood and like historical museums that have been maintained in the period. It is a museum as well as an event space for weekly farmers market and other events. Inn gives a period feel when you're walking through the museum part so you can imagine how patrons of the day might have experienced it. Worth visiting if you're in the neighborhood and like this sort of historic thing.

Killer Kitsch

What a gorgeous place to have tea! I can't wait to go back!

Valliappan Palaniappan

Historic inn and community place

Zoe Wang

Amazing little inn with so much history! Did not know that a place like this existed in Toronto. They also have Sunday afternoon high tea for $7/person. Will def try that out when I have the chance!

Maureen Littlewood

Great historical Inn to visit and explore.

Coach Nerissa

I went the Opera The Scenes From Joshua at The Montgomery Inn. It was an amazing production. I loved that it was about history here in toronto. Very fascinating to see the museum come to life through the Opera.

Karl Berzins

Excellent piece of Etobicoke history. Glad it's still around.

Leah Moncada

Great historic food programming, farmers market, and fun atmosphere with interesting historical setting.

rmd dragongirlie

Good farmer's market Wednesdays

Great historical venue. Toronto should keep it's historical and heritage building, parks, streams and trees. Too much loss already.

Frieda Lauw

Historic Tavern Meal Saturday, February 8, 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. The Inn’s Winterlicious event is a typical 19th-century tavern meal in an 1840’s Toronto tavern. Served family-style at communal tables, guests will begin with Thomas Montgomery’s peppermint shrub cocktail, then enjoy artisan cheese and fresh baked bread, a variety of pickled and preserved vegetables, hardy meat and potatoes and a selection of historic desserts, all prepared according to authentic early Victorian recipes. Richard Fiennes-Clinton, author of Muddy York, will speak about the history of Inns in early Toronto. Admission: $35 + HST.

Jo-Anne Stansfield

I have had the great pleasure of working with Steve not only of the sale of two homes but the purchase of two as well. Working once in the business myself I have very high expectations of an agent. Steve becomes very involved in his clients needs and always went above and beyond to give you the most favourable experience. We are talking million dollar properties that he was able to successfully bring to the close. When picking an agent I highly recommend you seek out this very qualified and successful one. My best to him going forward and if going to the market again he will be my first and only call.

Melanie Rogers

A wonderful experience. History buff or not this 187 year old inn, in the heart of Etobicoke is a great place to spend time. Go for the tea and baked goods then take the guided tour and learn about the Montgomery family and their lives in Canada. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Price for tea service is $7.00 per adult and the tour is a separate fee also. ENJOY!!

Maw maw

Very old place from 1830, good to see

YK Wong

Went there to join their Family Day activity. Greeted with the friendly staff and volunteers, offered hearty hot chocolate and warm coffees when we walked in. My 8 and 10-year-old then joined the traditional candy (forgot the name of the candy) making workshop, which they enjoyed a lot. Then, we explored our way up to the second floor, where I joined an mini Irish river dance lesson and my wife and the kids tried out the 19th century games. After that, me and my wife went back down to the lobby to hang around a bit while the kids were finishing up their scavenger hunts worksheet. We finished off with some more traditional handicrafts down in the basement lounge.

Angela

Very old place. The Christmas sale was in the basement and just a bunch of amateur crafts people selling less than adequate crafts.

Hexa Path

Farmer's market available inside

April Jay

Plenty of events hosted here. I like the farmers market. Pub night is fun. Nice people. Piece of history to enjoy with good times.

Lola Macanowicz

Newly renovated. A great community space and place! Events all yr long and lots of things to do for all ages.

Jeanne James

We had our son's 7th birthday party here. Iona and Mariah were fantastic hosts. They kept everyone intrigued with stories about the Inn and the family that owned it. The kids played 19th century parlour games, and baked Derby cakes on the open fire in the historic kitchen. Afterwards, we served birthday cake in their tea room. We would highly recommend it. It was a unique experience and we will cherish it.

John Millyard

Excellant historic site and imaginative food.

Jon Ransom

Great atmosphere.

Angus Palmer

Really interesting historic inn from the 1830's or so out in Etobicoke. Highly recommended for anyone with an interest in Toronto's early history.

Melanie McIvor

Fabulous museum. Wonderful activities for families. Awesome year round farmers market.

Michael Somodi

Great for kids

Jessica

We went last Sunday for afternoon tea, and even though the inn is being re-renovated, we enjoyed a thorough and delightful tour from Marta. The tea room is lovely, ladies are helpful and friendly, and the snacks are perfect with a cup of tea.

Sangwon Lee

Historic site. All staffs are very kind. She explained to us about the museum in detail.

Nadia Quinlan

Had Irish tea, had a great time. Tea and tour $12.

Anna Białas

Nice place

Diana

Nice glimpse of the past. The staff is very friendly.

nemo tele

A piece of history...not really that interesting , but well preserved.

Pauline Martini

Went to the Wednesday Farmer's Market. Good selection, lots of seasonal veggies. Pavement is a bit uneven so might be a bit challenging for those with mobility issues. Bring cash if you go because some vendors don't take plastic.

Jamie Maxwell

A great historic site that has pub nights, farmers markets and much more. A gem

Jan H.

Wonderful tour and an amazing classical concert!!

Theresa Tsoi

Nice place to visit

John Sweetman

Wednesday afternoon 2-6 farmer's market. Bought pieces of cooked sea bass, chicken and sausage plus fresh bread, Christmas Cake, etc all home made. We look forward to our awesome Wednesday night dinners.

Eugenia Marko

Nicely preserved, would be great if they offered more here, like a cafe or something.

Al Thai

Very cool historic site. I need to come back on pub night.

Tasha J

Amazing story behind it.
