ANTIQUES & ART | CAMPING & HIKING | CIVIL WAR | CAVERNS | MUSEUMS | POTTERY | THEATER Strasburg has earned the title "Antique Capital of Virginia" by virtue of its large number of fine antique shops centrally located in the historic downtown area, anchored by the 65,000 (almost 1 1/2 acres) square foot The Great Strasburg Emporium.
Strasburg was the earliest settlement in the Shenandoah Valley, dating back to the 1700's. Its village homes and surrounding farms continue to yield some of the finest antiques anywhere. Among the shops one will find a variety of merchandise and services to satisfy both the most serious collector and those looking for "just the right touch" to beautify their home. The Great Strasburg Emporium, established in 1979, houses over 100 antique and art dealers in a variety of specialties, some of which are: books, jewelry, glassware, collectibles, oak and Victorian furniture.
Strasburg earned the name of Pot Town in the post Civil War period because of the numerous potteries manufacturing stoneware and earthenware in the 19th and 20th Centuries. Examples of local pottery are exhibited in the Metropolitan Museum in New York City, The Ford Museum in Michigan, The Museum of Early Southern Decorative Art in Salem, North Carolina, Colonial Williamsburg in Virginia, and of course, the Strasburg Museum in Strasburg. Today there is a Strasburg Potters Guild continuing the traditions started a century ago. Many artists and craftspersons exhibit their work in the Emporium. Many others have studios and sell their art at local shops shops Bygones The Great Strasburg Antique Emporium Heirloom Emporium King Street
