St Jacobs is an ideal place to visit on a motorhome holiday - there's numerous RV parks nearby and RV parking is plentiful.

This quintessential village of around 2000 people has its roots embedded in the simple lifestyle of "Old Order" Mennonites who settled in the area in the mid 19th century. While the town has become an established tourist destination, the Mennonite influence is still evident everywhere in the town. Horse-drawn buggies and cars share roads, Mennonite farmers sell their produce at the Farmers' Market and visitors to the Mennonite Interpretation centre can learn about the Mennonite people in the township.

St Jacobs however is much more. Historic structures abound and visitors are welcomed into buildings such as the Village Silos, the Mill Shed and the Old Factory, where artisans make and sell pottery, quilts, glassware, designer clothing and much more.

Home base to Canadian hardware giant, Home Hardware, the first store opened in St Jacobs in 1964. A museum showing memorabilia from the past can be found in the Mill. In a nearby building, corn brooms are still being manufactured the old-fashioned way - watch as they take shape, or perhaps enjoy a beer or two at St Jacobs own craft brewery.

St Jacobs - Out of the Ordinary, Not Out of the Way.
