The Frontier Culture Museum is a living history site and an educational agency of the Commonwealth of Virginia. The Museum currently features six permanent, outdoor exhibits comprised of original farm buildings from Britain, Germany, and Virginia.  These buildings have been carefully documented, dismantled, transported to Virginia, and restored. The farms represent the daily lives and agricultural heritage of the peoples who came to the new world and formed a unique American culture.

The Museum's exhibits serve as the settings for interpretative and educational programs designed to increase public knowledge of the diverse Old World origins of early immigrants to America, of how these immigrants lived in their homelands, how they came to America, and how the way-of-life they created together on the American frontier has shaped the success of the United States. The public can learn about about the lives, reasons for immigration, and cultural synthesis of the ethnically diverse peoples who arrived in western Virginia and the mid-Atlantic backcountry during the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries; as well as the native peoples who made the area their home. The immigrant cultures include the Germans, Scotch-Irish, English, and West Africans.
