You will find Willard's Hotel on Queen Street, just past Crysler Store, in the Village. Willard's Hotel is one of the oldest buildings on the site. It was constructed in the late 1790s and restored to the style of the 1850s. Daniel Myers, son of the earliest owner Jacob Myers, took out a tavern licence in 1815. The building was later bought by John Willard in 1830.

Today, the hotel is a full-service restaurant where costumed staff will serve you a period-style meal such as fricasseed chicken with mushrooms, or the Victorian tradition of afternoon tea. Enjoy the light or traditional teas with a small assortment of finger foods between 2:30 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. Seating indoors holds 92 and the Hotel is licensed to serve beer and wine.
