Check out this week’s AOW!

This apron belonged to the Robeson family of Blacksburg, VA. We are fortunate to have several Robeson artifacts in the BMCF collections. The Robeson’s were strong members of the Blacksburg community with ties Virginia Tech who ultimately left a strong impact on education in Blacksburg.

We are in the process of upgrading our collections organization system, and we are so excited to find new artifacts each week that have been donated to our collections. Stay posted to our socials to learn more about our archives!

It was such a delight to host the talk for artist Savannah Penven’s exhibit Burn Your Candle Into Another World. Being transported into Savannah’s realm of the sublime is something that will linger with us.

This historic Hall stands as a living memory of a neighborhood built on resilience and community. Within these walls, laughter echoed late into the evening, and generations gathered to celebrate, organize, and dream forward.

It is our honor to help ensure that these stories continue to be told. Yesterday, the BM&CF and Town of Blacksburg team installed new banners at St. Luke & Odd Fellows Hall that indicate renovations to the structure and the surrounding property that was once New Town, one of five segregated Black neighborhoods in Blacksburg. As the steward of this historic site, BM&CF is currently working with former New Town residents on new exterior features and interior exhibits. These important elements will collectively tell the story of both the Hall as a central gathering place and mutual aid society, and the people it served.
