For a great family day trip you can load up all the children (and their friends) and take a drive to Staunton, where you can learn all about the life and times of Virginia’s earliest settlers at the Frontier Culture Museum.

This amazing “living” museum will teach children all about the trials and tribulations of Virginia’s pioneers through a collection of eleven fun and educational exhibits which showcase farms from as early at the 1600’s when English settlers arrived in Virginia.

You can explore the museum on a self-guided tour along walking paths and trails – shuttles are available when little legs get tired.

Frontier Culture Museum, 1290 Richmond Ave, Staunton, VA 24401, Phone: 540-332-7850
