History comes alive this Fri & Sat in Urbanna
For centuries, Urbanna Creek has been visited by all types of vessels that have come from all around the world. One of the most unique vessels to visit the creek regularly from 1910 to 1980 was the Chesapeake Bay buyboat. In the heyday of the Rappahannock River oyster fishery, Urbanna had three oyster shucking houses along its shores and over 100,000 bushels of oysters were shucked there each year.
