Many people are surprised when they come to the Northern Neck of Virginia. Kilmarnock and our two neighboring towns of Irvington and White Stone are very small communities located within a few miles of each other almost like neighborhoods in a larger city. We have antique shops that rival those of big cities. I've already written about Lewis Trimble Decorative Arts & Antiques and our neighbor Comer & Co.. There is also a very large and well run Antique Mall, Kilmarnock Antique Gallery. To the south of Kilmarnock about four miles you will come to a great little town, White Stone. Here you will also find wonderful places to visit. There is Trimble's Tavern Antiques, yes we are related. Chris Trimble is my oldest son. Mothers do brag, but truthfully Chris has an amazing shop. We moved to the Williamsburg area when he was a young boy. Introduced to American History, he loved being able to ride his bike into the colonial area and feel a part of the history. His shop is like walking into a colonial Virginia home. It is full of 18th and 19th century artifacts, furniture, paintings, pewter, and anything else that might apply. Behind his shop he has a wood working shop where he restores and makes his own furniture.
Another shop is called Farm it is a charming shop full of unique items that bring the feel of a comfortable and stylish home. They mix the antique with the unusual and great youthful clothes and accessories. http://www.farmintown.com/ Check out their blog too http://www.farmintown.blogspot.com/
There are many great places to eat or to buy take out foods Like the River Market, White Stone and Carried Away Cuisine, Kilmarnock. Great dining places such as The Seven Martini Bar,White stone, Nate's Trick Dog, and The Tides Inn, Irvington, just to mention a few. There are other great shops too many to mention and Interior decorators too.
