Montgomery's Inn, a 19th-century colonial tavern, has been a landmark in Etobicoke for over 180 years. Restored to its heyday of 1847, the Inn still extends its tradition of hospitality, started by the Montgomerys in the 1830s. Visitors can view the lodgers' bedrooms, the bar room, second floor assembly room and the Montgomery family bedrooms, sitting room and office. The inn has a tea room for visitors.
Montgomery's Inn is a historic building in the Etobicoke area of Toronto, Ontario. Originally constructed as an inn, it now serves as a living history museum and is owned by the City of Toronto.

There is an impressive set of murals painted on the sides of buildings along Dundas St W in Islington Village. Islington Village is a short distance west of Montgomery's Inn making both easy to visit in one day. Islington Village has a number of shops and restaurants, and a small town atmosphere.
The park has hiking trails along the Humber River valley. It is a good spot to watch the fall salmon run up the Humber River. While walking from the subway station, take a look at the public spaces around the very quaint Old Mill hotel where there are some ruins of an old water mill. You cross into the park over a very attractive stone bridge built in 1916.
