Check out BMCF staff and volunteers working diligently to digitize our collections! While we are working on the restoration and exhibit redesign at the St. Luke & Odd Fellows Hall, we are also working to digitize our collections onto an online platform so that the public can utilize our archives for their scholarly work. In order for our digitization work to go public, we need donations to fund our online platform. Please consider donating to our #givelocalnrv2026 with @cfnrv through the link in our bio!

Interested in knowing how far your dollar goes? Reception supplies are just one of the many operational expenses of a nonprofit art and history museum. Help us fund these expenses so that we can offer receptions to our community artists and museum members!

Here is a little sneak peek of our exhibit design

Here is a little sneak peek of our exhibit design at the St. Luke & Odd Fellows Hall. This board is a part of a section of the exhibit that will pay homage to the residents of New Town, starting with Gilbert Vaughn. Gilbert Vaughn was the first Black landowner post emancipation and this Juneteenth we are honoring his legacy. Vaughn's ownership was the beginning of the community that supported one another during the atrocities of Jim Crow. Here at BMCF, we are working to make sure that the community is aware of the effects of segregation in Blacksburg and that this history is not forgotten. If you would like to contribute to the funds needed to publicize this exhibit, please donate to our #GiveLocalNRV2026 campaign with the Community Foundation of the New River Valley. Visit the link in our bio to give today! @cfnrv

We will be closed for Juneteenth tomorrow and toda

We will be closed for Juneteenth tomorrow and today I again offer this from "Huckleberry Finn," Chapter 31 which contains perhaps the most perfect line in early American literature. The epitome of a morality tale, not to mention the blueprint for all buddy films and stories that followed. The best unrelenting, witty and biting satire of a hypocritical and cruel “civilization”. And it was written 142 years ago and 18 years AFTER slavery was abolished. Even and especially now, these are still powerful words spoken from a child narrator. Respect, love, and conscience above all. -Diana Francis, Museum Director

Our Education Room was one of the first to be finished on the second floor at the Alexander Black House, but we consider this an ever evolving exhibit and welcome any donations that pertain to education in Blacksburg as well as Montgomery County.

Back in March we had the pleasure of providing our 16 Squares Walking Tour to @gotomontva

Along this tour we explore the original 16 blocks of town and learn how it was formed, grew, and continues to thrive today! Stops include some of the original log cabins that were built in the early 19th century and discussion about the families that occupied them.

Thank you to Evan Hull at @gotomontva for providing this video.
