Culpeper History & Heritage

We offer so many places throughout the county where you can learn about our community through the centuries. We hope to welcome you and your family soon!

NEW EXHIBIT ON DISPLAY!

CULPEPER HOSTS A HERO:
LAFAYETTE IN CULPEPER

 

The museum’s latest exhibit highlights General Lafayette’s historic visit to our town in August 1825, explores his contributions to the young nation, his lifelong affection for his adopted country, and the 1925 centennial celebration of his visit.

WALKING TOURS!

The Museum of Culpeper History is offering a variety of walking tours this year, including our new tour about the people, places, and events shaped by Culpeper’s patriots and see how these activities were written into the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights, and other founding documents.  Look for our upcoming tours under the Programs & Special Events tab.

VOLUNTEERS WANTED!

Are you interested in local, state, or national history? Do you like teaching and sharing information? Do you enjoy meeting new people every day?

The Museum of Culpeper History is seeking volunteers to help with its daily operations and ongoing programs. Our volunteers allow us to put visitors in touch with the story of Culpeper’s past every day, seven days a week. Without their hard work and support, we would not be able to do the work we do!
