Waterford is a very
quaint, very small town. It was first settled in 1733. It is a
National Historic Landmark, and many old
structures, like the mill and the jail, have been preserved. It has the smallest Post Office we have seen.
It is off the beaten path. One of the few roads to the town isn't even paved.
Large homes and farms surround the town.

Waterford
has a few shops with limited hours. It doesn't really come to
life until it stages one of its classy annual events, but, we recommend seeing Waterford even when there are no events taking
place. Include Waterford on a visit to Leesburg. |

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.
