The Town of Bristol

EAT

Grab a coffee at ADEC Gaining Grounds Center and see the artwork created by the people served at ADEC or take the joe to go for a walk at Congdon Park. Enjoy a homestyle meal at Evan’s Sidewalk Café and then relax at the Red Bird at the end of the day with a cold adult beverage.

SHOP

Shop farmhouse soaps, scented accents and vintage heirlooms at Camille’s Florals and Gifts or from a rainbow of quilting fabrics and inspirational accessories at the Lavender Patch. Discover local hidden gem Rob’s Barbershop for a quick cut and conversation. Browse and sample the wines produced on site in the rustic tasting room that overlooks the orchard, then select a bottle (or two) of your favorites at Fruit Hills Winery & Orchard. The patio is the perfect location to enjoy a glass while taking in the beauty of the Bristol fruit hills.

EXPORE

Explore the St. Joe River by canoe or kayak or try your racquet skills at the new Cummins Park pickleball courts. Lace up the roller skates at Jarisa's Fun Zone. Catch the “daily grind” and some stone-ground flour at Bonneyville Mill and explore the 7 miles of hiking trails that meander through the park. Relive the past through eclectic exhibits at a 1920s-era high school turned history center at the  Elkhart County Historical Museum and catch an Elkhart Civic Theatre production at the historic Bristol Opera House.
