Welcome to the Town of St. Marys
In St. Marys there’s a real sense of community. It is a great place to raise a family and is conveniently located between Stratford and London.

Welcome to the Town of St. Marys where life is enriched through heritage, arts, culture and recreation. A beautiful masterpiece representing small town living, this gem is nestled in the gentle hills of the surrounding farmland.
Known as “The Stonetown” for its abundance of limestone architecture, St. Marys is a sight to behold from one hilltop to the next. Explore the history of the area and see where Prime Minister Arthur Meighen once lived, the town’s original water tower and the 1858 limestone Junction Station. And don’t miss the St. Marys Museum .

Take a stroll through the downtown core with shops offering women’s fashion, music, books, arts and crafts and cozy coffee shops. Visit the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame – June boasts the inductee ceremony and celebrity baseball game. The Stonetown Heritage Festival in July is a celebration that the entire area enjoys. The KIN Summerfest is held in July with midway rides and games, an antique farm & housewares exhibit and dodge ball tournament.
Enjoy a picnic lunch by one of the wonders of the world known as the “Little Falls” on the Thames River. Return in November and December for a horsedrawn wagon ride and check out the award-winning light display at Milt Dunnell Park.
