Knakal’s Bakery, one of Culpeper’s oldest operating businesses, has put its historic downtown home on the market. The buildings at 146 and 150 E. Davis St. housing the 91-year-old bakery and a neighboring commercial space, were listed last Friday night for $1.2 million by Duckett Corbin Team Realtors with RE/MAX Gateway. The real estate is offered separately from the bakery business itself, though acquisition inquiries for the business are welcome, the realty team said in a Facebook post . Dwayne and Beth Whitt, who have owned and operated Knakal’s since 1977, were on vacation Monday and could not immediately be reached for comment. The bakery opened in 1935 and has only had two owners, the Knakals and the Whitts, who retained its original layout, vintage display cases and decades-old recipes for its signature donuts and apple bread. "Everything is made here and baked fresh daily,” Beth Whitt told the Culpeper Times in 2023. “At Christmas, a few holiday cookies are brought in, but everything else is made on site.” The bakery sells an assortment of donuts, polka rolls, cake bars, different kinds of cupcakes, cakes, cookies, spice bars, fudge nuts, pecan sandies, yeast biscuits and the locally-famous apple bread.
