Frontier Culture Museum
The Frontier Culture Museum is the biggest open-air living history museum in the Shenandoah Valley. Costumed historical interpreters show the life and customs of the indigenous Native American tribes in Virginia, the arrival of the German, English and Irish settlers, and the painful journey of the enslaved Africans to the first permanent British colony in North America. Actual homes of the period have been relocated to the museum in Staunton, Virginia to show the progression of European immigration and the settlement on the American frontier.

1700s Irish Blacksmith
A blacksmith recreats a scene from a 1700s Irish forge and blacksmith shop. This shop was orginally build in Ulster, northern Ireland in the 1700s. It was painstakingly disassembled and moved to Staunton, Virginia and rebuilt at the Frontier Culture Museum. Reenactors routinely recreate these colonial crafts at the Museum's many different period houses and buildings.
