Montgomery's Inn was built in 1830. It is worth visiting just for the fact that there are not many historical buildings in and around Toronto. Montgomery's Inn once served as a shelter, community hub and restaurant right up until 1850 when one of the original owners, Margaret Montgomery died. Now it is a great place to go with the kids to get a glimpse at a yesteryear when life was not entirely dependent on technology. Visitors can take self-guided tours for a low price, walking through the open-hearth kitchen and the sitting area. It is like stepping through the pages of a Jane Austin novel, which is a shocking contrast to the very modern city that surrounds.

EXPERT TIPS BY:

Toronto Local Expert
- Family-Friendly Museums: "Try to visit Montgomery's Inn on a Wednesday, when they have their year-long farmer's market from 2-6pm. The wood-fired handmade bread is made in the outdoor oven and it sells out incredibly quickly. Work hard at getting a loaf."
- Best for Family-Friendly Museums Because: Montgomery's Inn stands out as a great place to listen to classical music, eat organic food and marvel as what a difference 180 years has made.
