Claude Moore Colonial Farm, Living history museum in McLean, US
The facility spans across extensive grounds featuring period-accurate buildings, farm structures, gardens, and livestock areas representing a colonial tenant farm.
From 1973 to 2018, this National Park Service site recreated daily life of a modest tobacco-farming family in Virginia during the American Revolutionary period.
The site differentiated itself from other colonial museums by focusing on common tenant farmers rather than wealthy landowners typical of other historical presentations.
Visitors could participate in agricultural activities, observe historical demonstrations, and attend seasonal market fairs featuring period-appropriate merchandise and entertainment.
The farm maintained historical accuracy by having staff use exclusively 18th-century farming techniques, tools, and clothing while conducting daily agricultural operations.
