#ShopFredericksburg By Debbie Eisele

Located about an hour south of Washington, D.C., Fredericksburg, Virginia, is a thriving economic center for entrepreneurs who capture the hearts of their patrons. The quaint historic downtown Fredericksburg area is bustling and affords visitors and residents a unique shopping experience with an eclectic mix of restaurants, shops, art galleries, tours of the small historic city, and much more.

From the beautiful scenery of the nearby Rappahannock River, to the intrigue of the historical sites, Fredericksburg inspires. Gift Shop Magazine visited with some local merchants in the downtown district (Caroline Street, William Street, and Princess Anne Street) to see what makes their businesses and location so inviting and special. For more information on historic downtown Fredericksburg, visit www.visitfred.com.

Visit with the retailers interviewed for #shopfredericksburg and see why they enjoy their location and learn about their successes.
