St. Jacobs

Picture
A Mennonite farm.

The village of St. Jacobs is popular for its little stores, many of them run by Mennonites selling everything from food to cloths and local handicrafts. It is also a market place for many local artists, including native Indians, selling their pieces of art in the towers of the old mill on the bank of the Grand River. If you want to learn about the time of the first settlers and some forgotten crafts, such as quilting and broom making, this is a place for you to start.
