SUMMARY:Culpeper Wizarding Express Mini Escape Room
DESCRIPTION:Magic is in the air! Get ready to be part of something extraordinary at Culpeper’s Wizard Weekend. It’s an event like no other\, and we want you to be there! \nThe Culpeper Wizarding Express Mini Escape Room! \nYou have taken the Culpeper Wizarding Express to the World Hexball Championships\, only to realize you left your lucky scarf on the train. You and your friends quickly dash back to the caboose\, where lost items are collected\, in the hopes of finding it. Unfortunately\, in your search\, the door locks trapping you inside. Can you find your lucky scarf and unlock the door before the train leaves the station? \nTaking place in an old caboose located in front of the museum\, you and your friends will have 30 minutes to try and solve several puzzles to find your lucky scarf and get out! \nThis escape room is recommended for individuals over the age of 10. Of course\, you know your children better than we do\, so younger people are allowed to participate\, but they may or may not find the experience engaging. \nAll participants under 16 must be accompanied by an adult. The adult must have their own ticket or be 1 of the 6 for a group ticket. \nYou should plan on arriving about 5 minutes before your scheduled time. The puzzle will begin at the scheduled time. Because we need time between groups to reset and clean the room\, we have to start the clock on time. \nAll you need to bring are your wits and a sense of adventure. You will not need any tools; everything you need to solve the puzzles will be in the room. \n*Please note that the caboose is NOT handicap accessible. \n*It is an enclosed space with no electricity\, and it may become hot\, especially during the afternoon. \nEfforts will be made to try and keep the temperature down\, but be prepared for it to be warm inside. \nSpace is extremely limited\, and advanced registrations are required. Tickets are $15 per person or $75 for a group of up to 6 people. \nFor more information\, contact Christine Wuebker\, Education Coordinator\, at education@culpepermuseum.com or call (540) 829-1749.

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.
