They have decor, jewelry, limited clothing, limited children's items, pillows, some furniture and many great gift items. Farmhouse vibes for sure! Heather was helpful while I shopped. She greeted me when I walked in and informed me of any sales they had. She then just let me shop to my hearts content. Allowing me to place items up on the cash rep area so I could use both hands to shop. She was awesome!

Right over the Coleman Bridge in Gloucester is the Merc. A…read morefamily owned small business is one of my favorite stores to shop at. This store is so unique with items you will not find anywhere else! From home decor, clothing, jewelry, bags, socks etc. If you are in need of a gift for someone this is the place to come! There is a new addition to the store where they will personally help you design your home, equipped with rugs, lamps, furniture and a bunch of fabric to choose from; making your piece personal. The store is very clean and well organized. The social media director is very good at posting new items on Facebook and Instagram. Their marketing skills are amazing! The staff and employees are very helpful and friendly. I only gave this store a 4 stars because the prices are a bit steep, but they always have sales and a clearance section. I myself being a business owner understand and always love supporting small businesses! This is by far my favorite small business to frequently visit!

Inside, you walk into the small but unique gift shop. Lots of see-worthy finds including bird feeders, jewelry, chimes, pictures, books, signs, platters, mugs, and knick knacks. There's an area for kids with toys and dress up clothes for the pirate or mermaid in your crew. My purchases consisted of so many mermaid items... bracelets, earrings, decór... I think I almost cleaned them out. The prices were reasonable for this touristy store and the lady behind the counter was friendly and efficient. If you love nautical, beach themed goods, this is the helm of the Yorktown area! I wouldn't steer you wrong!

We hardly knew where to look but almost every booth seemed well organized. Most items were priced and prices seemed over all not outrageous. There was pretty much something for everyone and many of the booths had a sale going on. Sadly the booths I found items at weren't having a sale. But that's ok. I bought them anyway! If you like antiques malls with a nice variety of items, friendly staff, and an easy location this is a great place to spend a few hours.

A Fife and Drum band played and marched through numerous times and they had a great husband and wife duet singing and playing electric keyboard which added a nice festival feel to the beautiful sunny day with breezes blowing off the river. There are a few shops in the market area including a gift shop, bookstore with great used books, many on local history, some outdoor outfitters and a Ben and Jerry's. I recommend going early. The market starts at 8. We arrived around 930 and it was already very very crowded but luckily we found a parking spot in their small parking garage.

A good place to start on the tour of the battlefield sites that defined America…read more The Yorktown Visitor's Center is the perfect starting point for exploring several of the most pivotal sites in American history. The drive from the main road to the center is scenic, offering glimpses of Virginia's historic landscape before arriving at the center. Getting to the actual center seemed a little confusing as there are arrows describing the car tours to visit various sights when leaving the center. The center is not very large. The exhibits inside are well-organized and interactive, showcasing artifacts from the Battle of Yorktown, maps, uniforms, and weaponry from the era. There is a short film that provides an good overview of the battle and its significance in the history of our American independence. The center also features a gift shop with books, souvenirs, and historical memorabilia. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable and offered suggestions regarding various tours that you could take when driving around the area. There are several well-marked signs leading visitors from the center to the surrounding area sites. The driving tours take visitors through key historic sites connected to the Siege of Yorktown (1781) and the broader Colonial National Historical Park. Overall, the Yorktown Visitor's Center is an great stop, providing an introduction to this historic battlefield and its role in shaping the nation.

It did a great job of explaining what led up to the British surrender and how it happened. I especially liked the part of a ship that was built into the visitors center. Walking through it really was like walking through an 18th century ship - very cool. The visitors center did a great job of explaining the surrounding area and helping us decide where to go. I enjoyed it and would definitely recommend checking it out when visiting Yorktown.
