Frontier Culture Museum of Virginia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Frontier Culture Museum of Virginia, also referred to as the Frontier Culture Museum, and formerly known as the Museum of American Frontier Culture, is a living history museum based in Staunton, Virginia. Its focus is on the history of the groups that immigrated to Virginia and the Shenandoah Valley from the 1600s through 1800s. The museum comprises five farms: the German Farm, the Scots-Irish farm and blacksmith's shop, the English farm, the American Farm, and the soon-to-open Bowman House, an expansion of the American Farm.
The American Farm focuses on the mix of cultures achieved in 1800s America and is the house of a German immigrant. All the farms are composed of historic buildings which have been painstakingly disassembled, brought on site, and reassembled.
