History comes to life - The visitor's experience
Set in the scenic Don Valley, Todmorden Mills Heritage Site is a complex of historic buildings which were once part of the small industrial community of Todmorden.
Today the site consists of two historic millers' homes dating from the early 19th century, the Brewery building and the recently renovated Papermill Theatre and Gallery. Adjoining the site is a 9.2 hectare wildflower preserve with walking trails exploring a number of natural habitats, including upland and bottomland forests, dry and wet meadows, swamp lands and a pond.

Todmorden Mills Heritage Site is one of 10 historic museums operated by Toronto Culture. Toronto's Historic Museums engage visitors, inspire passion, challenge ideas and connect the past to the present.
New Entrance
The new entry road runs alongside the theatre and allows drivers to drop off passengers at the Papermill's main entrance before proceeding to the back lot for parking.
As you approach the theatre on Pottery Road:
- If you are driving from Bayview, turn right at the first driveway
- If you are driving from Broadview, turn left at the second driveway.
- In either case, our driveway is directly across from the Fantasy Farm driveway.
The historic red brick roadway, on the east side of the theatre complex, will now be used solely by pedestrians and cyclists.
