Morning
Start at St. Jacobs Farmers’ and Flea Markets, admiring the handicrafts, collectibles, and foodstuffs of over 600 vendors. After stocking up snacks, walk across the parking lot to the Trolley Shop for a 75-minute horse-drawn trolley tour through Mennonite farm country (Apr–Oct).
After the tour, drive to the Visitor Centre at 1406 King St N; it features a short video on Mennonite history, photo exhibits, and a replica of a Mennonite Meetinghouse. Then, ready for lunch, head to Stone Crock (No. 1396), for a country-style buffet.
Afternoon
Drive east on County Road 17; in a few miles you’ll come to Road 22. Turn north to Route 86, then east on 86, watching for the sign to West Montrose. In this small town, look for the last remaining covered bridge in Ontario – called the kissing bridge by locals. The bridge crosses Grand River, a Heritage Waterway. Take Route 23 (turning into R21) north to charming Elora, 10 minutes away.
Once there, browse in the craft and antique shops and admire the old limestone buildings before walking to the Elora Gorge Conservation Area to swim, hike, and enjoy your picnic snacks by the water.
Next, it’s a short drive on Route 18 to Fergus, rich in Scottish history and late 19th-century architecture. Dine at the 1860s Breadalbane Inn (487 St Andrew St W).
