Visit Culpeper

Lecture Series - The Road to Freedom Started Here
2025-07-01 18:30 - 19:30 UTC | Museum of Culpeper History, 113 Commerce Street, Culpeper, VA, 22701
Join us on Tuesday, July 1, at 6:30 PM as the museum continues its lecture series!
During Virginia’s struggle for independence in 1775, Virginia’s Third Convention established Sixteen Virginia Military Districts, including the Culpeper District (Counties of Orange, Culpeper, and Fauquier). Culpeper’s District quickly formed the Culpeper Regular Rifle Company and Minute Battalion in the Fall of 1775, becoming the only fully manned combined Regular Rifle Company and Minute Battalion in Virginia. Culpeper’s quick actions in Virginia’s time of need, more than any other portion of Virginia, helped liberate Virginia from British rule by 1776, thus aiding in saving the Revolution. How did they do it when other regions of Virginia could not? This presentation focuses on the important leadership within the Culpeper District, which defined the Culpeper District as “The First to Organize, First to Fight, and First to Win.”
This program will be held at the museum. Space is limited, so get your ticket today! Admission is $5 per person, but Museum members get in FREE.

Book World Meets Wine World at Revalation Vineyards
2025-07-11 17:30 - 19:30 | Revalation Vineyards, 2710 Hebron Valley Road, Madison, 22727
Join us at 6 pm as author Jeffrey Dale Lofton discusses his new book, Red Clay Suzie. This isn’t just about reading words; it’s an opportunity to hear directly from the author about his deeply personal and award-winning book. Red Clay Suzie is a fictionalized memoir told through Jeffrey’s unique perspective as an outsider—a gay man living with a disability in a conservative family and community in the Deep South. Through the character of Philbet, Jeffrey hopes to provide a “roadmap of sorts” for fellow outsiders. He wants them to understand that bullies are “paper predators” who only have power if it’s given to them, and that their bodies, imperfections and all, are beautiful and precious. He encourages those on the fringes not to hide or withdraw, assuring them there’s always a caring, trustworthy person in their “concentric circles of humanity.” Above all, he emphasizes that the quality of one’s mind and heart is what truly matters, and that “love, real love, is never wrong.” This is the message he wished his younger self had known, and it’s why he wrote Red Clay Suzie.
Book signing and reading will be followed by Q&A session. Ten-percent of the tasting-room sales will benefit the Literacy Council of Madison County.

Dead of Summer 6K
2025-07-12 18:00 - 20:00 | Death Ridge Brewery, 5393 Higher Ground Trail, Jeffersonton, VA, 22737, United States
Death Ridge Brewery and Verdun Adventure Bound presents the 4th annual The Dead of Summer 6K. The XC course begins and ends at Death Ridge Brewery and includes a significant portion of the Verdun Adventure Bound Cross Country Course. If you keep an eye out, you might actually see some Emu and a Zebra (no, really!) as the course cuts through a neighbor’s property.
Why 6K? Because that’s how an easy to follow and naturally flowing course measured out. We could have made it a 5K, but it wouldn’t be as fun. 6K is 1000 meters better! NOTE: Course distance is approximate.
This race is an introduction to the wonderful beer of Death Ridge Brewery, with all race proceeds going to support Verdun Adventure Bound. Verdun is an educational 501 (C)(3) non-profit organization with a mission to support youth and adult personal growth incorporating experiential learning and stewardship of the land on its 67 acre retreat facility.
​The surface varies from close cut grass to a short section of rough trail and several kilometers of the well groomed trail in Verdun. Verdun has a beautiful cross country course with just enough hills to make it interesting. You will be in and out of the woods, along side two ponds, and over a stream or two (bridged, of course).

Magic is in the air! Get ready to be part of something extraordinary at Culpeper’s Wizard Weekend. It’s an event like no other, and we want you to be there!
The Culpeper Wizarding Express Mini Escape Room!
You have taken the Culpeper Wizarding Express to the World Hexball Championships, only to realize you left your lucky scarf on the train. You and your friends quickly dash back to the caboose, where lost items are collected, in the hopes of finding it. Unfortunately, in your search, the door locks trapping you inside. Can you find your lucky scarf and unlock the door before the train leaves the station?
Taking place in an old caboose located in front of the museum, you and your friends will have 30 minutes to try and solve several puzzles to find your lucky scarf and get out!
This escape room is recommended for individuals over the age of 10. Of course, you know your children better than we do, so younger people are allowed to participate, but they may or may not find the experience engaging.
All participants under 16 must be accompanied by an adult. The adult must have their own ticket or be 1 of the 6 for a group ticket.
You should plan on arriving about 5 minutes before your scheduled time. The puzzle will begin at the scheduled time. Because we need time between groups to reset and clean the room, we have to start the clock on time.
All you need to bring are your wits and a sense of adventure. You will not need any tools; everything you need to solve the puzzles will be in the room.
*Please note that the caboose is NOT handicap accessible.
*It is an enclosed space with no electricity, and it may become hot, especially during the afternoon.
Efforts will be made to try and keep the temperature down, but be prepared for it to be warm inside.
Space is extremely limited, and advanced registrations are required. Tickets are $15 per person or $75 for a group of up to 6 people.
For more information, contact Christine Wuebker, Education Coordinator, at education@culpepermuseum.com or call (540) 829-1749.
