From the Victorian Gardens to the authentically furnished pre-Civil War manse to the restored 1919 Pierce Arrow that was a favorite of our 28th President, the Woodrow Wilson Birthplace offers an accurate depiction of pre-Civil War life in the Shenandoah Valley and an historically accurate look into the life of one of America’s most influential leaders.

The Frontier Culture Museum, a “living museum”, provides a view into the lives of our 17th, 18th & 19th century ancestors through authentically clad, working interpreters and furnished homes, barns and outbuildings from Germany, England, Ireland, and Virginia. The structures were carefully dismantled, shipped to the site and reconstructed on the outdoor museum property just a few miles from downtown Staunton.
