Old Towne Petersburg displays incredible historical architecture from the 18th and 19th centuries in the heart of Petersburg. This significant locale is an inviting culinary and shopping destination, with almost all of its restaurants and shops in historic structures. There’s several locally owned restaurants that offer Italian, Greek, Latin American, Southern cuisine and more. Old Towne also boasts approximately a dozen antique shops, primarily on West Old and North Sycamore Streets, but also on North Market, Bollingbrook, and West Bank Streets.

Old Towne’s location along the Appomattox River puts residents close to waterfront dining options and walking trails.
