Washington Square

Gifts and goodies tempt in historic downtown Marshall!

On any given day, a visitor to Washington Square can buy a magnificent antique, eat elegant cuisine, buy funky clothes, down a gravy-laden po-boy or create personalized bath suds. And those are just a few of the kaleidoscope of opportunities that await the shopper at the city's most eclectic retail zone.

Its collection of shops, mainly in restored storefronts, are 100 percent locally owned with knowledgeable merchants ready to answer even the most obscure questions. "New York has Fifth Avenue, Palm Beach has Worth Avenue and Los Angeles has Rodeo Drive," says Suzanne Plachard, owner of The Brass Trunk. "Downtown Marshall is the quintessential Main Street of 100 years ago."

So put on your walking shoes, make sure your credit cards have lots of breathing room and enjoy one of Texas' most unique shopping experiences. Here are some favorites.
