WEEKEND ITINERARY in ST. THOMAS, ONTARIO!
Plan the ultimate weekend getaway to St. Thomas, Ontario with this 2-day itinerary! Located about a 20-minute drive south of London, Ontario, St. Thomas was founded in 1881 and was an important railway junction. Its location made it the primary stop along the Canadian shortcut between Detroit and Buffalo, and grew to see 26 railways pass through during the 19th and 20th century, thus earning the name Railway Capital of Canada.
Today, the trains no longer pass through St. Thomas but its railway heritage is woven into the culture of the city and is proudly on display. From historic buildings to green spaces, friends, families, and especially railway aficionados will all enjoy a weekend visit.
