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!

SUMMARY:"The Augusta Resolves: A Milestone on the Road to Revolution\,”  With Augusta County Historical Society
DESCRIPTION:The Augusta County Historical Society\, along with the Frontier Culture Museum of Virginia\, is delighted to have speaker Tammy Mannarino of the Fairfax County History Commission kick off the first of a series of lectures and programs commemorating the crucial role that Virginia and Augusta County played in the formation of the United States. In this program\, “The Augusta Resolves: A Milestone on the Road to Revolution\,” Mannarino delves into the Augusta Resolves and reveals their influence on the ideals of liberty and revolution that shaped this nation. \nAs the storm clouds of the Revolution were brewing\, Augusta County stepped into the tempest. Outraged by the Boston Tea Party\, the British Parliament passed the Coercive Acts to punish the Colony of Massachusetts and to further restrict trade and restrain the representative governments of the thirteen colonies. Representatives from 12 of the 13 colonies convened in Philadelphia in the fall of 1774 to form the Continental Congress. These delegates petitioned the King of England\, outlining the colonies’ grievances and declaring that they should enjoy the same rights as Englishmen. \nIn the weeks and months that followed the implementation of the Coercive Acts and the Continental Congress\, numerous counties and communities in Virginia voiced their own revolutionary rhetoric in the form of Resolves. By February of 1775\, Augusta County had adopted the Augusta Resolves\, which pledged support for the actions of the Continental Congress and a willingness to stand with other colonies in their pursuit of liberty. Join Mannarino and the Augusta County Historical Society as she introduces Augusta County’s first steps toward revolution. \nFor more information\, contact the Augusta County Historical Society at 540-248-4151 or augustaachs@intelos.net. \n

SUMMARY:International Archaeology Day
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, October 19th 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 New World 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!
