Williamsburg Shopping

There was so many quality places to shop in Williamsburg, that I decided to consolidate them into one tip.

Mary Dickinson Store This is a milliner shop, and you can purchase goods similar to those sold in the 18th-century shop. Samples are straw hats, jewelry, ribbons, caps, silver, scents, bows, stockings, and soaps.

John Greenhow StoreThis is a nice shop to buy what was on sale two hundred years ago such as fabrics, basket, hats, supplies, tinware, craftsmen's tools, and woven goods.

Craft House is in Merchants Square along with 50 other shops and services. Craft House offers reproductions of Williamsburg antiques such as mirrors, furniture, silver, brass, pewter, books needlwork, and china.

Sign of the Rooster is located downstairs from the Craft House and has reproduced items from the Abby Aldrich Rockefeller folk Art Center Collection. There is jewelry, needlework, toys, furniture, and accessories for the home.

McKenzie Apothecary Remedies such as those that dr. Kenneth McKenzie sold in the mid-18th-century are sold here. The shop stocks medicinal herbs, candied ginger, rock candy, horehound drops, and spices. They also sell bayberry candles, tea, coffee, clay pipes, tobacco, soap balls and bars, and pomander balls.

The Golden Ball you can purchase silver hollow ware and gold and silver jewelry on the east side of the Golden Ball.

Raleigh Tavern Bake Shop Oh, boy, we loved this one! Breads, cookies, tarts, and gingerbread are sold and often eaten here!

Tarpley's Store Typical 18th-century toys, three-cornered hats, boxes, dried fruits, jewelry, and candies are offered here.

Hutner's Store M. Dubois Grocer's Shop at Hunter's Store offers food products such as tea, coffee, cider, preserves, condiments, and delicious Virginia hams.

Prentis Store which I mentioned before sell pottery, blankets, candles, tobacco, pipes, baskets, and tools .

Post Office Things that were sold at the colonial post office are available such as maps, stationery, sealing wax, seals, newspapers, games, playing cards, and books.

Nine of the shops have been restored to re-create the world of the colonial merchant; in addition, there are gift shops, sport shops, folk art shops, museum shops, a children's toy store, and many specialty shops in Merchants Square so it's some of" the best shopping in history!"

We purchased jewelry, pewter candle holders, and foods.

Price varies extremely; for the quality, it all seemed fair to me.
