This was everything everyone has said! the drive to the garden was majestic, even though the leaves had all fallen and the garden was not in bloom, it was beautiful to just imagine.

I visited on the second to last Sat they were open. Not too many vendors, but I was able to spend over $40 so I would say they had all that I and my friends needed. The vendor with the shopping bags made out of feed bags was there. I had purchased 2 in Sept, and 2 more this visit. White Ravins Market was there and we were able to thank them for the wonderful Smith Island cake that I had purchased from their store. We also bought their crab cakes and tomato pie and pumpkin role. Freshly shucked oysters were also purchased and brought home and fried. Very delicious. I could go on and on. A fun place to shop.

Chincoteague Island Waterman's Memorial

Reviewed By joyttwa - Mount Airy, United States

This was a lovely place to see. It is sort of a rough path to walk on but easy enough for a stroller or perhaps a scooter. Good parking and a good place to see boats and the marina.

Hopkins & Bros. Store

Hopkins & Bros. Store is a historic landmark that is owned by the Eastern Shore of Virginia Historical Society. Inside the store is an exhibit about Onancock, VA and a restaurant, Mallards at the Wharf.

Reviewed By RLDCA - Washington DC, United States

The store with its old cash register, old cans of oysters and other provisions and other such fittings, makes you feel like you're stepping back in history. The accompanying photo displays and text tell the story of the decades-long rise and then decline of the store and the wharf area it serves. Worth a 20 minute visit, followed by a meal and/or drinks at the Mallards restaurant next door.
