MUSEUM HOSTING A SPECIAL CHAMBER MIXER IN AUGUST The Museum and the Piedmont Dispute Resolution Center are co-hosting the second August Chamber of Commerce Mixer, slated for August 26th from 5:30pm to 7:30pm. Food, wine, and songs will greet participants and guests at the Museum, located at 803 S. Main Street. Rain or Shine! So, join your friends and colleagues for a chance to mingle in an historic setting! Posted: 8-Jul-2010 EXPANDED MUSEUM HOURS HAVE BEEN A SUCCESS Museum NOW remains open EVERY DAY of the week in an attempt to capture all of the visitors who come to Culpeper on weekends. NEW HOURS: Monday - Saturday: 10:00am to 5:00pm Sunday: 1:00pm to 5:00pm Posted: 16-Jul-2009 KIDZKORNERS Hands-on Alert! Children of all ages are encouraged to get on the floor and play at the Museum. There are three "KidzKorners" where children can get creative. 1. Name That Dinosaur: kids can choose their FAVORITE dino and name him or her by using little plastic letters. "Fredasaurious" can then go home with your youngster. There are several resource books, crayons, markers, and stickers available for creative play time with "Culley" the Culpeper dinosaur. 2. Play with your food: learn how Native Americans processed their food using a stone mortar and grinding stone (pestle). What do we use today to process our food? 3. Playing Dress up: Dig into a period trunk and find something that fits! Kids can see how children in colonial Virginia dressed to go "a visitin'". 4. The Art of War: kids can design their own uniforms! Posted: 16-Jul-2009 BECOME A MUSEUM FRIEND BECOME A GUARDIAN ANGEL! The Museum lost its bid for a waiver of the FY 09 rent, but that just means that we are working harder to stay open. In October of 2008, a museum member came by and quietly paid the rent for one month! What a nice surprise! If you have the means, please consider paying the Museum's rent for a month. It's a nice way to ensure that visitors and newcomers to Culpeper see just how great this area is! Join the fun and games at the Museum by becoming a Friend of the Museum today.
