Once Upon A Child

Once Upon A Child is a secondhand store in Fredericksburg, VA. You’ll find it at 1879 Carl D Silver Parkway, Fredericksburg, VA 22401. It’s one of 26 secondhand and resale shops we track in Fredericksburg.

The store keeps hours seven days a week, including Sunday, staying open as late as 8 PM on its longest days. Thrift hours change seasonally and around holidays, so a quick call before a long drive is worth it.

Secondhand stores buy or take in used goods and price them to move, so the floor changes constantly; expect a mix of everyday clothing, housewares, and the occasional standout piece priced well below retail. Once Upon A Child buys gently used items outright for cash or store credit, so you can sell as well as shop; see our Once Upon A Child guide for what it takes and how payouts work.
