SUMMARY:How Culpeper (and the Country) Survived World War II: Rationing and the Home Front 1941-45
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Tuesday\, September 2\, at 6:30 PM as the museum continues its lecture series! \nMany of us are aware that food and gasoline were rationed in the United States during World War II\, but did you know that bicycles and typewriters were rationed\, too? American industry shifted from consumer to wartime production for the war effort\, limiting Americans’ ability to purchase appliances\, automobiles\, and a number of otherwise common consumer goods. Ration stamps and books were printed to ensure that goods were equitably distributed for Americans to survive\, while also supplying the armed forces who were fighting on two fronts\, thousands of miles away. Local collector\, author\, and historian Matt DiPalma will showcase a selection of his original World War II ephemera\, documents\, ration cards\, and ration books\, and explain what made rationing different in Culpeper and the U.S.\, compared to other nations during the war. \nThis program will be held at the museum. Space is limited\, so get your ticket today! Admission is $5 per person\, but Museum members get in FREE.

SUMMARY:Lecture Series - The Road to Freedom Started Here
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Tuesday\, July 1\, at 6:30 PM as the museum continues its lecture series! \nDuring Virginia’s struggle for independence in 1775\, Virginia’s Third Convention established Sixteen Virginia Military Districts\, including the Culpeper District (Counties of Orange\, Culpeper\, and Fauquier). Culpeper’s District quickly formed the Culpeper Regular Rifle Company and Minute Battalion in the Fall of 1775\, becoming the only fully manned combined Regular Rifle Company and Minute Battalion in Virginia. Culpeper’s quick actions in Virginia’s time of need\, more than any other portion of Virginia\, helped liberate Virginia from British rule by 1776\, thus aiding in saving the Revolution. How did they do it when other regions of Virginia could not? This presentation focuses on the important leadership within the Culpeper District\, which defined the Culpeper District as “The First to Organize\, First to Fight\, and First to Win.” \nThis program will be held at the museum. Space is limited\, so get your ticket today! Admission is $5 per person\, but Museum members get in FREE.

SUMMARY:Exhibit Opening Reception Culpeper Hosts a Hero: Lafayette in Culpeper
DESCRIPTION:The Museum of Culpeper History presents Culpeper Hosts a Hero\, the first exhibit to highlight General Lafayette’s historic visit to our town in August 1825. Rarely noted in official records of his tour of the United States\, the Frenchman’s short stop in Culpeper was documented in detail by Capt. Philip Slaughter\, Culpeper native and Revolutionary War veteran. Slaughter’s diary provides a rare glimpse of the General’s itinerary\, the numerous activities organized to honor the “Guest of the Nation\,” and those individuals who arranged the whirlwind of events. The exhibit includes an annotated map of Culpeper showing three locations which hosted events for the General and his entourage on August 22nd. \nThe exhibit explores this honorable man\, his contributions to the young nation\, and his life-long affection for his adopted country. Beyond the unprecedented reception he received during his 13-month tour of the United States in 1824-25\, Lafayette’s visit was celebrated in Culpeper during the 1925 Centennial\, and even today\, in the Bicentennial festivities across the eastern and southern states during the last year and half. \nA reception to open Culpeper Hosts a Hero will be held Saturday\, June 28th\, from 5 – 7 pm. Enjoy period music and refreshments – including wines provided by Mountain Run Winery and toddy tastings hosted by the Long and Hansen families. Period costumes are encouraged! \nThose wishing to attend the opening reception are requested to RSVP by June 25.
