The Occoquan Merchants Association is proud to introduce our quaint historic town. Founded in 1734, as a trading post, this tiny Virginia hamlet hugs the banks of the Occoquan River providing a picturesque setting for escaping mall and city shopping.
We have more than 100 specialty shops and restaurants featuring everything from:
home decor
antiques
folk art, and hand-crafted jewelry
galleries with works by local artists
fashion boutiques
specialty bookstores
shops with an array of aromas and scents
quilting and craft stores
two wine shops, gourmet food markets
many fine restaurants
stretching over four tree lined blocks to make your visit and shopping experience memorable.
Site Design Many of the pictures you are enjoying on this site have been donated by David & Jane Ernst of the town's Artists' Undertaking. The Artists' Undertaking is humorous. Why? Many years ago the shop they occupy was the Mortuary. Visit them to see truly imaginative artwork. We thank them for lending us these images.
