Stroll Walking Tours has partnered with the Village of St Jacobs BIA to bring you Historic St. Jacobs, a brand new walking tour!
St. Jacobs might look like a town frozen in time, but this village blends the modern and traditional, staying connected to its roots.
This town has made a big name for itself, and the story is best told through intriguing local tales: the milling company that pioneered new technology in 1875; the early schoolteacher from Sierra Leone, the woman whose love for books built the library; the horse that delivered the mail for decades and a hardware store that became a nation-wide company.
Our 75-90 minute guided walking tour is led by locals who know the town best. You will leave feeling happier, healthier and smarter! Or maybe you won’t want to leave!
W H E N: Every Thursday (2:30pm) & Sunday (11:30am) until early December
F I R S T D A T E S: Thursday October 21 & Sunday October 24, 2021
Sign up for prescheduled dates as individuals, pairs, couples and small groups – no need for private, pre-arranged tours! Perfect for when friends and family come to visit! Or when you just need a day out in the Village of St. Jacobs.
