The Plains, Virginia

(a QuaintVillage)

Travel attraction lodging dining unique gifts royalty-free stock photography

We discovered this QuaintVillage in 2002 when we exited I-66 to buy gasoline.  The Plains is very small and picturesque, with only one gas station.  It is near the former site of an old stone mansion.  The gatehouse for the mansion still stands.  There are a few very nice shops in The Plains.  One of them specialized in original arts and crafts created within a 30-mile radius.

Why shop online?

 

Prices and selection are often better from these Web sites than in your
neighborhood stores.  Many of them offer free packing and shipping to
your door or to your gift recipient.  So, you can save time, gas, and
money.  Merchant sites must meet high security standards to advertise
on QuaintPlaces.com.

  

Did you know?

  

When you place an order from these merchants, they contribute a small
commission to QuaintPlaces.com.  These commissions do not increase
the cost of your purchases.  Only purchases made within a few days
after your initial "click" to their sites generate commissions for us.
(Please do not delete your cookies.)

  

These commissions, plus sales of our own photos and cards, are
necessary to help defray the cost of maintaining QuaintPlaces.com,
which currently operates at a loss.

  

Your purchases will help us provide more information and photos about
quaint places.
