Friends! We need your help!

Take a look at this collection of Steppin' Out t-shirts generously donated to the museum! As you can see, we have a shirt to represent most of the previous events, but we need a few to fill in the gaps, and this is where you come in!

Do you have Steppin' Out t-shirts from the years listed below hanging in the closet that you'd like to share with us? If it isn’t listed below, we already have it!

1981, 1982, 1983, 1984, 1985, 1986, 2020, 2021, 2024, 2025

This week we pulled the old doorbell up from the archives!

This bell is quite typical for a large home in the early 20th century, as it was an early notification system for the house staff. The bell had several different connection points to the front door, dining room, upstairs, and downstairs.

We will have this artifact on display until Friday, July 24. Make sure to stop by and check it out!

Thank you to Joelle’s This and That summer camp for coming to the museum today to do a fun scavenger hunt throughout the house. We enjoyed having you all here! ❤️

Sometimes serenity is as simple as fresh lavender gathered from the garden in the morning and lovingly tucked into tiny glass bottles.

The house is blooming with small moments like these. Come wander, linger, and let history and summer share a room for a while. 💜

Available as long as Kayla’s garden provides! Come grab a lavender bouquet while you can!

Come check out our new Artifact of the Week! This week we have an early edition of The Blacksburg Banner on display, with some great articles on the importance of responsible journalism, along with some articles shaming local “Blackburgers” for the way that they litter the streets.

Come take a look at the gem before Friday July 17!

Welcome back to our regularly scheduled programming! While staff and volunteers have been diving into the BMCF Collections, we often find intriguing artifacts that illustrate our shared history and the complex — and often troublesome — perspectives of the Blacksburg Townspeople throughout the town’s 228 year history.

If you’d like to stop by and take a look at this artifact, it will be on display until Friday, July 10!
