Frontier Culture Museum

The Frontier Culture Museum of Virginia is located in our neck of the woods, in nearby Staunton, Virginia (just a short drive away from Cabin Creekwood’s cabins in Virginia). The museum is a huge compound filled with permanent and temporary historical exhibits housed in historic buildings.

So, what is there to see at the Frontier Culture Museum? There is a complete 1600’s English Farm, a 1700’s German Farm, a 1700’s Irish Blacksmith forge, a 1700’s West African family compound (slave quarters), 1700’s Ganatastwi Native American wigwam example, a 1740’s American Farm, 1820’s American Farm, and 1850’s American Farm.
