Living in Charlottesville, we do not often get over the mountains but I want to highlight our recent trip to the Fronier Culture Museum in Staunton. Younger kids will be enthralled by the many animals (ducks, chickens, sheep, cows) wandering this charming and authentic trip into America's past. Adults (and teens I hope) should find every aspect of th's :kiving"... More

Great Oktoberfest. Very authentic. Accommodating to visitors with physical limitations. Child friendly experience with staff encouraging hands on exploration. More

Frontier Culture Museum is a wonderful outing for families. We have a 7 year old and a 2 year old.

A great day trip and a great family experience! The people are dressed for the era and there is working farms with livestock and gardens. The events schedule is always worth watching More
