Topping's 

Top 5 Things to Do

1. Home of the Virginia Oyster Resurgence
The Croxton cousins pioneered the resurgence of the Virginia Oyster here in Middlesex County. Visit the oyster nursery where Rappahannock Oyster Company grows their oysters on their aquaculture farm, taste them at Merroir or have them shipped to your home.
2. Iconic Waterfront Dining
Savor Rappahannock Oyster Company’s oysters on site at Merroir, a small artisan plate tasting venue surrounded by the Rappahannock River. The spectacular views and delicate dishes will have you lingering longer.
3. Get a Birds Eye View
Take a scenic, aerial tour of the Chesapeake Bay with Bay Aviation or Coastal Sky Taxi at Hummel Airfield. If thrill seeking is your game, dare to ride in an open cockpit or experience the rush of aerobatic maneuvers in the Warbird PT-19.
4. Unforgettable Camping Experiences
Nestled on the Rappahannock River, Grey’s Point Camp is the perfect spot to enjoy the outdoors. Reserve a supersite for your RV and swim at the waterpark or watch the sunset at the beach, kayak the river or fish for the day – be as fun filled or relaxed as you want to be.
5. Wings, Wheels and Keels
Every September join us for the best transportation show in Middlesex at Hummel Airfield featuring aircraft, antique cars and boats. A remote control mini-plane air show, free amusements for the kids, military and fire department exhibits, arts and crafts are fun for the whole family.
