Historical Society meeting
What was it like living on the Virginia frontier 200 years ago?
Joe Grandstaff of the Museum of American Frontier Culture will tell members and guests of the Rappahannock Historical Society that family life on the Virginia frontier was actually a blend of German, Scotch-Irish, and English traditions. The meeting will begin at 3 p.m. Sunday, May 3, in the Rappahannock County library on U.S. 211, just east of the town of Washington.
Mr. Grandstaff has been with the Museum for five years as its director of marketing. He previously served as executive director of the Virginia Travel Association. Thus his main interests are tourism, and he will come to explain the educational and entertainment aspects of the Museum, along with its “living farms,” as well as update his listeners through slides and commentary on living conditions in our area two centuries ago.
A short business meeting, including election of officers for the coming year will be held. Light refreshments will be served.
Historical Society members, their guests, and the general public are invited.
