Thrift store
Mon & Thur are sale days on already good prices. A favorite for picking up name brands at a steal. It can be busy on sale days, including kids wandering around. But if you are into thrift bargains, worth it.

Well-done museum. US history told through the perspective of Marines. You can even be assigned the story of a real soldier, and "walk in their shoes" through the exhibits.

A little divey? Somewhat. Great food? Nah. But, it has 2-stories of large patio space overlooking the Occoquan River, and live music most weekends. Nice spot for apps and drinks. In colder months, they use vinyl sheeting so you can enjoy the views w/o freezing.

Events, artist studios and galleries (from glassblowing and textiles to painting and pottery), much of it available to purchase. Also a suffragist museum. Oh--and all of this started as a prison!
