You can find better food, but dining here is a historic experience. This place not only fed George Washington but also the Hessen mercenary soldiers who settled here after helping us win the Revolutionary War. Try some of the German specialties served in their honor.

A Saturday morning MUST DO. There are so many local delights and surprises here…and great breakfast treats. Don’t miss the Virginia ham biscuits. Get here early in the day though, as vendors usually pack up and leave at about 11 am. No doggies allowed, unfortunately. :-(
