Welcome to Historic Hobbies
Welcome to Historic Hobbies--our business is
history! We sell books, art and collectibles about history. We have
books, prints, toy soldiers and miniatures related to many historical
subjects and periods, but especially Colonial America and the Medieval
period.
The Historic Hobbies inventory includes books about
archaeology, architecture, artifacts, castles, costumes, arms and armor, art, model building and more. We have paper
models of castles, knights, soldiers, Roman villas, Egyptian mummies, southern plantations and more. Historical
art by Mark Churms, Brian Palmer, Chris Collingwood and others covering
Ancient Rome, the Medieval Ages, the American Civil War, Wild West, and
more up to World War II, including some aviation art. Toy soldiers from W. Britain are available in
a variety of periods and our hand-painted miniatures, especially the medieval knights, from St
Petersburg, Russia have to been seen to be believed!
We are located in Hampton, Virginia near the birthplace of
America with the historic triangle of Jamestown, Williamsburg, and
Yorktown right down the road. From the first permanent English
settlers, to the first Colonial capitol, to the last major battle of
the American Revolution, we have something to interest you. If you are vacationing in the area, from Williamsburg to Virginia Beach, stop by and see our retail store in Hampton.
