The Frontier
Culture Museum is an outdoor, living-history museum and educational
institution of the Commonwealth of Virginia. The Museum currently features
six permanent, outdoor exhibits comprised of original farm buildings from
Britain, Germany, and Virginia. These buildings have been carefully
documented, dismantled, transported to Virginia, and restored. The Museum’s
exhibits serve as the settings for interpretative and educational programs
designed to increase public knowledge of the diverse Old World origins of
early immigrants to America, of how these immigrants lived in their
homelands, how they came to America, and how the way-of-life they created
together on the American frontier has shaped the success of the United
States. The Museum’s plans for the future include the expansion of its
exhibits and programs to include a American-Indian and West African
exhibits, a working grist mill, and mid-1800s American village. The Frontier
Culture Museum of Virginia is accredited by the American Association of
Museums.
