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 agrarian history of the groups which emigrated to Virginia and the Shenandoah Valley from the 1600s through 1800s. Five farms comprise the museum: 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.
