SUMMARY:2023 Lecture Series\, "Race\, Removal\, and the Right to Remain: Migration and the Making of the United States”
DESCRIPTION:Join the Frontier Culture Museum on Tuesday\, November 14\, 2023 for the final installment of our 2023 Lecture Series. This month’s lecture is “Race\, Removal\, and the Right to Remain: Migration and the Making of the United States” presented by Dr. Samantha Seeley from the University of Richmond. The lecture starts at 6:00 PM in the Dairy Barn Lecture Hall and is free and open to the public. \nWho had the right to live within the newly united states of America? In the country’s founding decades\, federal and state politicians debated which categories of people could remain and which should be subject to removal. The result was a white Republic\, purposefully constructed through contentious legal\, political\, and diplomatic negotiation. But removal\, like the right to remain\, was a battle fought on multiple fronts. It encompassed Indigenous leaders’ determination to expel white settlers from Native lands and free African Americans’ legal maneuvers to remain within the states that sought to drive them out. In the middle states poised between the edges of slavery and freedom\, removal was both warmly embraced and hotly contested.

SUMMARY:2023 Lecture Series\, "Alexander Spotswood’s Germanna: A Gateway to Colonial Virginia’s West”
DESCRIPTION:Join the Frontier Culture Museum on Tuesday\, September 19\, 2023 for the next installment of our 2023 Lecture Series. This month’s lecture is “Alexander Spotswood’s Germanna: A Gateway to Colonial Virginia’s West” presented by Dr. Eric Larsen from the Germanna Archaeology Foundation. The lecture starts at 6:00 PM in the Dairy Barn Lecture Hall and is free and open to the public. \nLt. Governor\, Alexander Spotswood served as Governor of Colonial Virginia from 1710 to 1722. During his tenure\, Spotswood established two forts along the western edges of the colony’s settlement. One of these forts came to be called Fort Germanna. Opened in 1714\, Spotswood placed several families of German speaking immigrants in the fort to serve as a “barrier” between the French and French influenced Natives to the west. The fort\, itself\, was short lived and came to be replaced by a significant Georgian home built by Spotswood during his post Governor years in Virginia. This mansion came to be known as Spotswood’s “Enchanted Castle.” A small community of Germanna\, grew up over this first half of the eighteenth century. This was the same period that the colony of Virginia was pushing westward into the piedmont and over the Blue Ridge. Germanna was part of this journey. \nMeet the speaker:  \nDr. Larsen brings more than 30 years of archaeological experience to his position with the Germanna Foundation. He has worked with the National Park Service at Harpers Ferry National Historical Park\, and for the University of Maryland on sites in Annapolis\, Maryland. He directed fieldwork at the Freedmen’s and Contraband Cemetery for the City of Alexandria\, Virginia. He has taught Introductory Archaeology classes and trained numerous students through a variety of Field Schools around the Mid-Atlantic States. Dr. Larsen has been with the Germanna Foundation for eight years\, during which time the Germanna Archaeology Project was born.
