The Symmes Inn is a former inn turned museum located in the heritage district of Aylmer, Quebec.

Built in 1831 by Charles Symmes (nephew of Philemon Wright), on the banks of the Ottawa River as a part of the landing's important role as a staging ground for both settlement and the timber industry of the Upper-Ottawa River.[1] The Inn became the regional history museum in 2003.
