The first phase, a lecture, was held in the Old Stone Church on East Piccadilly Street in Winchester. Ann McCleary, Curator at the then newly opened <a href=\"http:\/\/www.frontiermuseum.org\/\">Museum of Frontier American Culture<\/a>, spoke on the early 18th and 19th century architecture of the Shenandoah Valley, and how the Frontier Museum interprets the lives of the early pioneers.<\/p>\n<p>The second phase was the field trip to Staunton. The first stop on the bus trip was the Frontier Museum itself. At that time, two homesteads were completed &#8211; the Scotch-Irish and the Appalachian farm. PHW&#8217;s guests were offered a special guided tour on this trip, as normally experiencing the site was unguided.<\/p>\n<p>The tour group had a private tour and lunch at <a href=\"http:\/\/ccpl-discover.chesterfield.gov\/iii\/cpro\/ImageViewPage.external;jsessionid=036EDAF399CFA69E6C6332115E1A2E6E?lang=eng&amp;sp=14&amp;sp=1000250&amp;sp=T&amp;suite=def\">Belle Grae Inn<\/a>, which at the time was a gourmet hotspot in an 1870s Italianate home converted to a bed and breakfast establishment.<\/p>\n<p>After lunch, the group meet with representatives from the Historic Staunton Foundation for a walking tour of the downtown, with an emphasis on how their Facade Improvement Program impacted both the appearance and economic vitality of their downtown.
