America’s First Frontier: A 250th Celebration

In the spring of 1775, men, women, and children head west, deep into the untamed wilderness. The trace they follow leads to a life of freedom. However, the journey is shrouded by the onset of a great revolution. Community becomes key. Settlements a beacon in the wilderness. Travel to Martin’s Station: Virginia’s final point of rest and resupply. Find wares of all types amongst the merchants and tradesmen. Meet the famed individuals who traverse the trace and the indigenous peoples they encounter. Immerse yourself in a story 250 years in the making. Join us in celebrating Virginia: America’s First Frontier.
