Description: Purpose, Powers and Duties: To develop and maintain an outdoor museum in order to commemorate the contribution which the pioneers and colonial frontiersmen of the 18th and 19th centuries made to the creation and development of the United States of America. The Frontier Culture Museum of Virginia works to tell the story of early immigrants and their American descendants by reproducing examples of traditional rural buildings from England, Germany, Ireland, West Africa, and America. The Museum engages the public at these exhibits with a combination of interpretive signage and living history demonstrations. The outdoor exhibits are located in two separate areas: the Old World and America. The Old World exhibits show rural life and culture in four homelands of early migrants to the American colonies. The American exhibits show the life these colonists and their descendants created in the colonial back-country, how this life changed over more than a century, and how life in the United States today is shaped by its frontier past.
