Onancock Regatta Weekend
"Review"
1999 - 1998
The Town of Onancock is unique in its location
as it is encompassed by the curving,
protecting arms of a deep water creek on
the Chesapeake Bay.
Its rich heritage of over 300 years is clearly
denoted as you stroll through town;
a walking tour of historic Onancock speaks
for itself as the pride in its heritage is shared
by all. Those who visit enjoy Onancock’s
tree lined streets along with its beautiful
19th century homes. Stately Victorian homes
are throughout town. There are
a collection of homes that retain their
wrap-around porches and decorative trim
as well as earlier styles of architecture
including the vernacular
Eastern Shore “big house, little house, colonnade and kitchen” style.
