Arts
The Town of Strasburg has a rich history in the arts, with its roots in both utilitarian and fancy earthenware and stoneware pottery, architecture and decorative arts ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strasburg,_Virginia). Today, the interest in the creative continues, with non-profit organizations forming in recent years to create multiple contemporary murals in the downtown area, a film collaborative, a museum of contemporary arts and a longstanding annual tour of historic homes in the downtown area.
