SUMMARY:International Archaeology Day
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, October 18th is International Archaeology Day\, and the Frontier Culture Museum is offering archaeological activities all day!  \nBut just what is archaeology and why are we talking about it at a living history museum? Archaeology is the study of patterns of material culture\, the tangible things that people made and used. Things that are still around\, just in the ground beneath us. Archaeology gives us a snapshot of the past. Objects enter the ground\, a house decays leaving only the foundation. We only get to see the remnants\, not the activity. History\, on the other hand\, is the study of human behavior in the past\, based on the records people themselves have left behind. You can see where one might inform the other. Both involve asking questions\, forming hypotheses and doing research.   \nWe look at all of these clues\, carefully piece the fragments of a moment in time together\, and create a picture of what life was like\, for example\, on the frontier.   \nSo\, what does Archaeology Day at the Frontier Culture Museum mean? It means walking around our Old World loop\, the farms from places people left behind to come to the New World\, and learning about different types of artifacts\, like metal and ceramics\, and also a little bit about experimental archaeology. It also means heading over to the American section and being able to try your hand at excavation in our dig boxes and learning a bit about what happens after the artifacts are excavated.  We hope to see you here at the museum\, as we celebrate International Archaeology Day!

SUMMARY:Independence Day Celebration
DESCRIPTION:*July\, 5\, 2025* \nIn 1809\, the Staunton Eagle recorded Independence Day as “ About 50 gentlemen and a number of ladies…partook of a plain Barbecue\, where none but Domestic productions were eaten…In short\, the whole afternoon was spend with a good humor\, harmony\, and joy\, which the fourth of July ought always to inspire into the bosoms of Americans.”   \nLet the Frontier Culture Museum provide you and your family with an opportunity to find good humor and joy with our pay-what-you-will Independence Day celebration! Starting at 9 am and lasting all day\, we’ll have apple pie making\, games of all kinds\, an audience participation required 19th century Civics Bee\, and of course\, a reading of the Declaration of Independence!  \nJoin the Frontier Culture Museum this July 5 from 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM to celebrate American Independence and learn how people celebrated Independence Day throughout history! \n_______________________ \nHow well do you remember your civics classes in school?

Come here the Declaration of the People read on our English farm at 11 and 3.

SUMMARY:May Day
DESCRIPTION:May Day has marked the return of spring for people around the world for millennia. Traditional celebrations included decorating people and structures with wildflower garlands\, feasting on newly growing greens and\, of course\, Maypole dances. Maypole dances have had many iterations throughout history. The earliest May poles were simple poles dressed in greenery and flowers\, with no ribbons. The dancers wound in and out in complex patterns that evolved much later into the iconic ribbon dances that are still performed today. Weather permitting\, come learn a ribbon dance at our May Day festivities on the English Farm Saturday\, May 3rd\, at 1 PM and 3 PM! \nThis is a general admission event and is included in the Annual Pass.

SUMMARY:Fiber Festival
DESCRIPTION:*Golf carts will not be rented on April 5\, 2025* \n  \nJoin the Frontier Culture Museum for the 3rd annual Fiber Festival. This festival highlights the historical importance of natural fibers such as wool\, flax\, cotton\, and hemp\, and the ways in which they were processed and used by people in the past. Visitors are invited to engage with our historical interpreters as they demonstrate traditional activities related to fiber production such as sheep shearing\, spinning\, wool washing\, dyeing\, and more. \nThis event is a pay what you will donation day! \n \nWorkshop \nJoin the museum at 10 AM (SOLD OUT)\, 1 PM (SOLD OUT)\, or 3 PM for an Introduction to Portuguese Knitting Workshop! Each session is an hour and half long and is $15. This workshop will introduce knitters of all levels to an ergonomic style of knitting that lessens small movements of the wrists and simplifies basic stitch styles (such as ribbing) by only working with the yarn in front. This style is goodfor knitting while walking or standing\, knitting in the round\, garter stitch\, ribbing\, and long\, sometimes monotonous stretches of stockinette. If using multiple knitting pins\, it prevents color work from becoming tangled or lacking tension. This is an especially quick style. While it helps with those who have issues with wrist and finger joints\, it involves heavy thumb movement and would not be suited to knitters with arthritis in their thumbs. \n Participants must bring their own needles and yarn\, but it can be any size or style. It must be something the participants are alright with holding around their neck. Participants must know how to cast on and how to perform a knit and purl stitch. Knowing how to “read” your knitting is also helpful. \nRegister now! \n  \nTimed Activities \n10AM: 1st sheep dog demonstration (in field behind 1820s)  \n11AM: Sheep shearing demonstration (in front of 1850s barn)  \n12PM: Heritage Breed Sheep Presentation (in 1850s barn)  \n1PM: 2nd sheep dog demonstration (in field behind 1820s)  \n2PM: Sheep shearing demonstration (in front of 1820s barn)  \n3PM: 3rd sheep dog demonstration (in field behind 1820s)  \n  \nVendors \nThe current vendors for this event include: \nOriginal Fiber \nOne of A Kind \nVirginia Quilt Museum \nThe Fuzzy Ear \nSimple Hill Farm \nMisty Mountain Farm \nAleta Spring Farm & Fiber \nReal Keen Leashes \nFog & Honey Artisan Boutique \nFarm Experiences \nWhich Way Crafts \nKathie’s Cinches & More \nZombot Creations \nLongshot Fibers \nBroken Arrow Creations \nSemper Fi Farm

SUMMARY:Irish Road Bowling
DESCRIPTION:Join the Frontier Culture Museum of Virginia and Staunton Parks and Recreation this March 8th for Road Bowling. \n\n\nRoad Bowling is a traditional Irish game played with a road bowl and is on a long course. The object of the game is to get to the finish line in the least amount of throws\, but be careful\, if the bowl goes off course\, you may lose it! One road bowl or team road bowl is included with the team registration fee. \nIrish road bowling has been played in the Irish countryside since the 1600s. Its origins are unclear-perhaps it was brought to the Emerald Isle from England by weavers in the new textile industry\, or perhaps from Holland by the troops of William of Orange\, or maybe it began when Irish patriots robbed small English cannonballs and rolled them home by light of a full moon. Irish troops traditionally have played road bowling wherever they were stationed around the world.  Road bowling has a passionate following primarily in County Armagh in the North\, where it is called bullets or long bullets\, and in the South\, mostly in County Cork\, where it is called road bowling. The two regions independently developed distinct and very different hurling styles.  \n– Information courtesy of Dave Powell with West Virginia Irish Road Bowling \n\nThe Game \n\nThe ball- “bowl” or “bullet”- A 28 ounce iron and steel cannonball the size of a tennis ball is rolled down a country road to a finish line. The team with the fewest shots to the finish line wins.\nThe start- A chalk line is drawn across the road. The thrower stands behind this line\, and his/her teammates (called road showers) go at least 20 to 30 yards down the road to show the desired path of the bowl. They stand like human croquet wickets\, feet apart\, straddling the “perfect path” to be taken to achieve maximum distance. Note: this is optional\, intended for those experienced players. You do not have to stand in the path of the roll; you are there to advise the roller and chase the bowl when it goes off the road. Remember this is a 28 ounce iron ball you do not want to get hit by it.\nThe grip- The bowl should be held in a C formed by the thumb and the index and/or middle fingers. The bowl should be thrown from the fingers\, not from the palm of the hand.\nThe throw- The bowler should back up 10–15 yards and take a running start to gain momentum to the throwing line. For many\, however\, taking two or three steps is sufficient. The thrower runs to the throwing mark and whirls the bowl underhand before stepping over the mark. The bowl may fly through the air a few yards before striking the pavement. You do not have to immediately roll it into the pavement. The bowl will hit the road with heavy topspin\, rolling exactly on the path your teammates\, the road showers\, have pre-planned for glory.\nThe shot- Wherever the bowl leaves the road surface\, the bowl is taken directly to that point and a chalk mark is made. The next throw is taken from behind that mark by the next teammate in rotation\, and so on to the finish line. It is customary to write the cumulative shot count on the road under each mark. (*Note: this is a house rule change due to this particular road course and the long downhill stretch. Normally the next shot is taken from where the ball stops and moved to the nearest point on the road from there.)\nThe finish- The final shot to the finish line should be thrown as far as possible past the line. If two or more players or teams have an equal number of shots crossing the finish line\, the winner is decided by which shot goes the farthest distance past the finish line.\n\n— Information courtesy of Dave Powell with West Virginia Irish Road Bowling  \n\nPlay in teams of 3-4 along the scenic pathways of the Frontier Culture Museum. Each team registration is $40. Register with the Frontier Culture Museum here. \n\n\nTee times vary and there is limited space in each time\, so be sure to sign up today! \nThank you to McDonough Toyota for sponsoring this event!
