The farmer's market isn't just a good place to get fresh produce, it has a wonderful atmosphere and there are vendors selling a variety of different products! You could buy trinkets, grab lunch, buy some baked or preserved goods, or just sit and enjoy the music and outdoors. It's a great opportunity to support local vendors and the Blacksburg community!

Went here after a Saturday Virginia Tech football game. There was already a pretty nice crowd but we did get a table for our party of 6. My husband had the beer flight, I had the specialty beer with the rim of cinnamon and sugar. My daughter had Kombucha. All were completely satisfied with the selections. We will definitely return on a future visit.

I am so glad Virginia Tech decided to build this beautiful memorial to the the faculty and students that lost their lives on campus. It is a fitting memorial to remember these precious lives. Please visit and pay your respects so they are never forgotten.
5. Coal Mining Heritage Park

The park is on a portion of the Huckleberry Trail that connects Blacksburg to Christiansburg. From the parking area on Merrimac, walk to the boardwalk, and follow to the path through the woods that goes past the entrance to the old mine. A small bridge crosses a creek, and interpretive signs explain features of the area, including Linkous spring. The path emerges on the trail at the site of the mining community commissary. Turn right, and you will come upon a display with a coal cart, winch, and more interpretive signs describing the mine operations.
