Independence Day Celebration

‘The ever memorable day was ushered in by the discharge of guns,’ said one observer of Staunton’s 1830s 4th of July Celebration. Come out to the Frontier Culture Museum this 4th of July for a day of historical weapons demonstrations, readings of the Declaration of Independence, games, and more! Join us in celebrating America’s 248th birthday this July 4th.
