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.

SUMMARY:Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Tuesday\, July 9 at 7 PM as the museum continues its lecture series! \nCulpeper County was among the earliest Virginia counties to produce Resolves in 1774. Join us as local historian Jim Bish explores the importance and uniqueness of these resolves. Virginia was the wealthiest and most populated of all of the colonies. Their commitment against the actions of England became paramount in the success of the Revolution. The results of the British disenfranchisement and anger manifested itself in what came to number over fifty local Virginia Resolves. Culpeper’s Resolves served to voice our grievances\, but in a larger sense\, they served to unite Culpeper and other Virginia localities for the long-term upcoming struggle against England. Culpeper was ready for war. \nThis program will be held at the museum. Space is limited so save your seat today and then pay at the door! Admission is $5 per person but Museum members get in FREE.
