Tarpley, Thompson, and Company

Tarpley, Thompson & Company Store, located at 402 E Duke of Gloucester Street in Colonial Williamsburg, is a specialty retailer offering period-authentic 18th-century clothing and accessories for men, women, and children. The shop features ready-made garments including coats, waistcoats, breeches, petticoats, gowns, and straw hats, along with candles, soaps, textiles, and crafting supplies—all made in Williamsburg. Originally built circa 1759 as a merchant storehouse and reconstructed by the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation in the 20th century, the store remains open to the public without admission fees and serves as an integral part of the living history museum experience.
