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.

Blacksmith's Window
The Blacksmith's view from the workbench in a reconstructed Blacksmith shop from eighteenth century Ulster, Ireland. The 1700s shop and forge were relocated and reconstructed in the Frontier Culture Museum in Staunton, Virginia. Colonies with commercial ties to Ireland's northernmost province of Ulster recruited Blacksmith's and other skilled craftsmen to journey to America to provide badly needed services.
