History Alfresco is the Museum of Culpeper History’s annual fall fundraising event.  Past events have included rare access to privately owned historic properties, catered food and drink, guest lecturers, trivia, music, and more. 

This year’s History Alfresco will be held the evening of Thursday, October 19 at historic Liberty Hall Plantation with hosts Dan and Sarah Coleman. The farm is located on one of Culpeper County’s earliest land grants and was extensively used as a camp site during the Civil War. 

Enjoy an Oktoberfest themed dinner catered by the Bavarian Chef restaurant in Madison, show off your mastery of Culpeper history with our trivia contest, bid on an assortment of exciting products and experiences in our live silent auction, and learn about the historic people and events that have touched historic Liberty Hall.

Tickets to the event will be $125.00/ person. Sponsorship opportunities are available; if you are interested please call 540-829-5954 or email [email protected].
