I had the opportunity to volunteer here during my time on a not for profit board. What a nice bunch of people making an amazing difference around the World from a location in the countryside of Southern Ontario that you'd never find unless invited.

St. Mary Our Lady of the Seven Sorrows Church

Reviewed By Exploration570638 - Region of Waterloo, Canada

A Normanesque style Church, large interior, unobstructed view of the main altar. The original altar still remains & is a work of art! All wood, hand carved. Well worth the visit for whatever reason!

Love the natural flow of the trails and strolling in the fresh air and nature. The ducks in the pond are enjoyable during the summer too.

Grand River Brewing

Reviewed By Andrew42176

It's hard to write about a place that no longer exists! It was one of the best microbreweries anywhere. Their Plowman's Ale, Millrace Dark, and longer ago, the Enigma Black Lager were among the finest beers you could find. The staff were friendly and knowledgable and the regular visits to refill the growlers were always a pleasure. When Magnotta bought the brewery the operation seemed to improve, but they closed it suddenly, saying that the brewing was moving to another location and that the beers would be available through the LCBO and their own store. The best ones have vanished and the LCBO no longer carries any. A sad loss of an excellent, popular and well respected brewery. Note: the date given below is a "plug", as the actual date s not available.

Lovely trail that winds along the river on the park road and then has a boardwalk with a pond that has many turtles. Many Canada geese and ducks on the river. Also leads to other trails throughout the city.

Picards Foods St Jacobs Canada

Reviewed By trainfan2000 - Hamilton, Canada

This store is pretty well dedicated to peanuts although most common nuts are also available (macadamia, pecans, walnuts, etc.). They offer almost every variety of peanut you can want (Bavarian, salted, non-salted, red skinned, etc.). They have Ontario grown peanuts which have a slightly different flavour and have recently introduced black skinned peanuts which are slightly sweeter than red skinned. There is also their peanut/chip creation which come in many flavours. At Christmas they offer a nice selection of gift boxes. They also have some excellent chocolate products and chocolate you can take home and use in molds to make your own chocolate treats (no tempering of the chocolate needed). Public washroom is available.

The Old German Woolen Mill ruin near Glen Morris along the Cambridge to Paris rail trail is an unexpected encounter with history. It’s cut stone walls and raceway arches and overall imposing height are testimony to the skills of the stone masons who built it. Access is now signed as no trespassing, although it can be viewed from the rail trail or off a roadway in front of the ruins.

A great place to kill some time on a rainy day. Lots of unique items, many reminded us of childhood and had some good laughs trying to remember what some items were used for back in the day. Staff was extremely helpful and friendly.
