Follow the progress the BMCF team, including forme

Follow the progress the BMCF team, including former residents of New Town and genealogy researchers, are making toward exhibit planning and renovations at St. Luke & Odd Fellows Hall!

We have been working with @hanbury.design on creating a three dimensional historic reconstruction of New Town that will serve as one of our core interior exhibit elements. This past Wednesday, we got a chance to see mockups of a few of the New Town structures and are so excited to begin sharing our progress.

On the same day, the BMCF St. Luke & Odd Fellows Committee walked the property with Tony Bland, Town of Blacksburg Public Works Director and Beth Carson, Town of Blacksburg Horticulturist to further discuss landscaping elements that will be implemented this spring as part of our exterior exhibit.

If you are interested in supporting our efforts at the Hall, we will be focusing our upcoming Give Local campaign with the @cfnrv on renovation efforts and exhibit redesign that will help ensure future programming and staffing at this important historic site.

Stay posted here for updates and campaign donation link will come soon!

It was an honor to have Dr. Jose Banuelos Montes, associate professor at Roanoke College and founder of @Casa Latina - Roanoke Valley present during the opening reception for Making it in America. Our area is fortunate to have so many resources that make such a profound impact for those who have immigrated to our communities.

Casa Latina is a 501(c)(3) non-profit agency that addresses the needs of the local Spanish-speaking community in the Roanoke Valley of Virginia.

"We provide resources and programs to contribute to the well-being of native Spanish-speakers through education, cultural activities, and direct access to services." - https://casalatinarv.org/
