Strasburg Museum

Located in beautiful Shenandoah County in historic downtown Strasburg, Virginia.

Celebrating over 250 Years of life in a small town in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia!

Settlers have resided in the beautiful Northern Shenandoah Valley since the 1730s and have left behind a rich heritage. Strasburg, Virginia became well known for its pottery manufacturing, with the first pottery dating back to 1761.
