ST THOMAS
South of London, St Thomas is a small farming community made a little more interesting by the fine Victorian and other period architecture. In the downtown area, City Hall, the Court House and St Thomas Church are all worth a look. Also for history buffs are the two small museums, one on pioneer life, the other on the military past in the vicinity. The Guild house Building at 180 Talbot St houses a number of arts and crafts stores and galleries. St Thomas has another, not-so-agreeable claim to fame - it was here in 1885 that Jumbo, that famous circus elephant, was hit and killed by a train. The life-sized statue at the west end of town pays tribute to him.
