Summary

[edit]
Description

Symmes Hotel, Aylmer, Quebec.

“Symmes Hotel National Historic Site of Canada is a two-and-a-half-storey early 19th century stone inn located at the juncture of Aylmer's main street in Québec, and the north shore of the Ottawa River.

Symmes Hotel was built in 1831 for Charles Symmes, founder of the town of Aylmer. For many years travellers stopped at the inn, known then as the Aylmer Hotel, before crossing to the head of Lake Deschenes by steamboat in summer, or by sleigh in winter, and continuing on to the trading posts of northwestern Québec. In 1973 the Western Québec Development Society (Societé d’aménagement de l’Outaouais) salvaged the building from ruin and restored it.

The heritage value of Symmes Hotel National Historic Site of Canada resides in its historic associations with its role as an inn and stopping place on a busy early transportation route. Value lies in its form and special features, its materials and composition, its site and setting.”

Today, a small museum detailing the history of the hotel and this area is located inside this former hotel. Admission is free.
