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.

1740s American Farm
The 1740s American Farm shows life in a settler household on the raw western edge of Great Britian's North American Empire in the mid-eighteenth century. A one room cabin with a single chimney and sparse furnishings. Those settlers eeked out a living off the land while confronting the threats of living on the frontier... wild animals, inclement weather, and indigenous natives who were not happy to see them!
