The Frontier Culture Museum is an outdoor, living-history museum and educational institution of the Commonwealth of Virginia. The Museum currently features six permanent, outdoor exhibits comprised of original farm buildings from Britain, Germany, and Virginia. These buildings have been carefully documented, dismantled, transported to Virginia, and restored. The Museum's exhibits serve as the settings for interpretative and educational programs designed to increase public knowledge of the diverse Old World origins of early immigrants to America, of how these immigrants lived in their homelands, how they came to America, and how the way-of-life they created together on the American frontier has shaped the success of the United States. The Museum's plans for the future include the expansion of its exhibits and programs to include an American Indian and West African exhibits, a working grist mill, and mid-1800s American village. The Frontier Culture Museum of Virginia is accredited by the American Association of Museums.

The Woodrow Wilson Presidential Library houses a unique collection of Woodrow Wilson materials from during and immediately after his life, including many works by those who knew him best such as Edith Bolling Wilson, John Randolph Bolling, Stockton Axson, and his daughter Eleanor, to name but a few. In addition, the Library contains many memoirs of those who worked with Wilson in an official capacity. The Library also houses an array of official and non-official governmental volumes concerning World War I. Atop the crest of a hill in historic downtown Staunton is the birthplace of 28th President Woodrow Wilson. This lovely Greek Revival house, formerly the Staunton Presbyterian Manse, is fully restored to 1856 and decorated with period furniture. A National Historic Landmark, the site is not only the birthplace of one of the America's most important leaders, but is also an authentic depiction of a pre-Civil War Shenandoah Valley home. At the Manse are historic gardens, a beautiful restoration of Victorian landscape.
