THE RAILWAY CITY: St. Thomas & Area

Once known as the Railway Capital of Canada, St. Thomas and its surrounding area is home to many gems. From May to November, the Horton Farmers’ Market is the place to be on Saturday mornings, sorry kids no Saturday morning cartoons for you! With fresh local food and the workings of many local artisans, get there early to pick out a mouth-watering watermelon, or the most succulent sweetcorn around. Gander a few blocks down, and you’ll be mesmerized by the art exhibits on display at the St. Thomas – Elgin Public Art Centre. Here you can gaze at four galleries, each with their own flare and media. See Elgin County from a whole new perspective with Zimmer Air Services. Tour in a private helicopter to see the area’s true beauty from a birds-eye view.
