Local John Laws and tillermen who feel unappreciated have friends over the mountain. As a token of thanks to the police, fire and rescue squad personnel who stand ready to answer every call–whether to wield the jaws of life or fetch Mr. Puss from the maple tree– the Frontier Culture Museum of Virginia offers free admission June 1¢â‚¬â€œSeptember 1. The offer is open to crews from Staunton, Waynesboro, Lexington, Charlottesville and Harrisonburg and Augusta, Rockbridge, Rockingham, Nelson, Albemarle and Botetourt County– and the Virginia State Police.

The “living history” museum in Staunton features six reconstructed working farms from Germany (1710), Northern Ireland (1730) and England (1690), and Botetourt (1850) and Rockingham County (1773). The farms represent the daily lives and agricultural heritage of people who immigrated to the new world and formed a unique American culture– and established fire, police and rescue squads.

9am-5pm every day.
I-81 at Exit 222 to Route 250 West, Richmond Ave. Museum’s entrance is 1/2 mile on left. 540-332-7850.
