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.
