Living History

The Wilderness Road Regional Museum invites visitors to experience Newbern’s history. Volunteers offer tours with historical interpretation, and special days are scheduled throughout the year when visitors can inhabit for a bit the daily life of those in early Newbern.

In Spring 2015, the Museum will host a living history event and drill day presented by a local Civil War Reenactment Group, the 45th VA Infantry.  The public will be invited to stop by the museum and step back in time to witness a Confederate camp, infantry drills, and demonstrations.

One of the museum’s upcoming projects will focus on the barn on the museum grounds, which is to be converted into a classroom setting for teachers to bring their students for hands-on history learning.

The museum’s goal is to make local history come alive so that these stories of wagon roads and pioneering may be forever valued and cherished, one experience at a time.
