Leesburg's numerous antiques shops are within a block of the Market Street-King Street intersection and easy to find. The visitor center has lists of the shops, both in town and throughout the Hunt Country, or you can check the website of the Leesburg Antiques & Collectibles Dealers Association (www.leesburgantiques.com).
