The Town of Strasburg, founded in 1761 and incorporated in February 1922, is known for pottery, antiques, civil war history, and breathtaking views. The pottery tradition is carried on today by teaching the craft of the potter’s wheel and kiln at the famous Strasburg Museum.

  Strasburg is located in north-central Shenandoah County at the northern end of the Shenandoah Valley. It is the largest of the six communities in Shenandoah County lying between Cedar Creek Battlefield on the north and Fisher’s Hill Battlefield on the south, both accessible to the public with interpretive material. It is in the heart of the counties burned by Sheridan to eliminate the productivity of this “breadbasket of the Confederacy.”

  We invite you to come and visit Strasburg, a small town with big surprises. There are lots of things to do and see such as the Heirloom Emporium, serving the Civil War re-enactment community, offering 19th Century reproduction goods, and Crystal Caverns at Hupp's Hill Historic Park.

  Visit for a day or visit for a week or more. Your days can be filled with excitement or relaxation, whatever you desire. Strasburg and the surrounding area are steeped in history. We have a friendly small-town atmosphere you can take in by just walking down our streets and visiting our shops!
