City Museum Closures Looming

For many of us, Montgomery's Inn has always just been part of our community. That quaint little stone building on the corner at Dundas and Islington. With the new Ford mandate, they are looking at closing a series of city operated museums and that includes our neighbourhood Montgomery's Inn.

The Toronto Star writes about the museum closures looming and features Montgomery's Inn:

As the Star's staff reporter, Trish Crawford puts it, "The tavern, its wooden floor worn into a deep groove at the entrance by hundreds of weary travellers, was a community hub where men and women mingled to discuss the news of the day.
Today, that news would be that Montgomery’s Inn may face the axe, along with three other small museums, Market Gallery, Gibson House and Zion Schoolhouse."



Montgomery's Inn is an important piece of our community.
