Dressler's birth home in Cobourg, Ontario, is known as Marie Dressler House and is open to the public. The home was converted to a restaurant in 1937 and operated as a restaurant until 1989, when it was damaged by fire. It was restored, but did not open again as a restaurant. It was the office of the Cobourg Chamber of Commerce until its conversion to its current use as a museum about Dressler and as a visitor information office for Cobourg.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.mariedressler.ca/dressler-house |title=Marie Dressler House |publisher=Vintage Film Festival |access-date=March 15, 2016}}</ref> Each year, the Marie Dressler Foundation Vintage Film Festival is held, with screenings in Cobourg and in [[Port Hope, Ontario]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.vintagefilmfestival.ca |title=About the Marie Dressler Foundation |publisher=Marie Dressler Foundation |access-date=September 6, 2011}}</ref> A play about the life of Marie Dressler called "Queen Marie" was written by [[Shirley Barrie]] and produced at 4th Line Theatre in 2012 and Alumnae Theatre in 2018.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.canadiantheatre.com/dict.pl?term=Barrie,+Shirley|title=Canadian Theatre Encyclopedia – Barrie, Shirley|website=www.canadiantheatre.com}}</ref>
