Blacksburg Museum & Cultural Foundation

Blacksburg Museum and Cultural Foundation is a nonprofit 501c3 led by local business leaders and citizens. The Foundation is engaged in a capital campaign to raise funds to restore the Alexander Black House on Draper Road, and will ultimately oversee operations of the facility.  

Once restored, the magnificent Queen Anne Victorian will be called the Alexander Black House and Cultural Center. A section of the home will be dedicated to the memory and life of Alexander Black, founding President of National Bank of Blacksburg and descendent of Blacksburg's founding father, William Black.  The remaining space will provide a welcoming atmosphere and elegant indoor and outdoor setting for thought provoking exhibitions of art and history; meeting and special event accommodations; and a variety of community programs.
