On October 26-27, 2024, join us from 9:00 AM until 5:00 PM each day for our 'Revolutionary War Weekend: Captive Beyond the Mountains' two-day event! Step into the year 1780, as the Revolutionary War raged throughout America, and western Virginia became home to thousands of British and German prisoners of war, known as the Convention Army.
The Frontier Culture Museum of Virginia will come alive with scores of reenactors and historical interpreters from around the country to recreate this pivotal moment in Virginia history.
Meet the prisoners and learn about their ill-fated march to Saratoga and surrender to American forces.
Enlist with Crockett’s Western Battalion, the men charged with guarding the Convention Army.
Join in on courts martial, and take part in 18th century military justice.
Meet with tribally enrolled Native peoples, in hopes of understanding their perspective on captivity, and on the American Revolution.
This unique, immersive weekend will be an experience like no other, and we hope to see you there!
