“Blacksburg’s Living Room” The newly restored Alexander Black House & Cultural Center is a hub of art, history, and cultural heritage including exhibits, events, and activities for all ages. As the former home of Alexander Black, descendant of Blacksburg founder William Black, the Cultural Center has evolved into “Blacksburg’s Living Room.”
St. Luke & Odd Fellows Hall
Blacksburg’s Museum of Africian American Culture Built in 1905, the St. Luke & Odd Fellows Hall has served as the center of the New Town community, an African American neighborhood in Blacksburg, through the end of segregation. Today, the Hall continues to serve the community by hosting New Town Festivals, exhibits, and other events. The Hall also boasts New Town Remembered, a virtual game where visitors can explore New Town and meet its former residents.
