The best way to get acquainted with Blacksburg is to take the historical walking tour of the Sixteen Squares, the original 16 plots of land that eventually became the townsite. Some of the interesting landmarks within these squares are the (house with the) Five Chimneys, and the log cabin houses of the early 1800s at the intersection of the Wharton- Jackson Streets. The Presbyterian Church and the Christ Episcopal Church sanctuary are two of the few old buildings from the mid-19th century that remain standing today. Visitors often rent a motorhome in Blacksburg to celebrate school-related events of family and friends going to Virginia Tech. You probably don’t have any other reason to step inside the campus, save for a visit to the 150,000-square-foot Moss Arts Center where visual arts galleries, a 1,260-seat performance hall, and amphitheater are located. Aside from showcasing exhibits on a wide range of subjects, there are plenty of hands-on learning opportunities here for all ages. Blacksburg overflows with dining options, as you would come to expect of a university town. The culinary range is international, so you’ll find Latin fare and several Asian and Mexican restaurants. There’s also an abundance of classic American quick bites and counter-serve food. You can eat healthier, too, if you buy fresh produce and artisanal baked goods from the local farmers' market (open year-round but with varying days and hours) on Draper Road. With more than a dozen gas stations and about a dozen grocery and convenience stores here, you won't be rushing out of town to refuel or get supplies. For a walk back in 1774, wander the halls of the Smithfield Plantation Home for a glimpse into the lives of William and Susanna Preston, their 12 children and their slaves and European indentured servants. The Prestons were one of the earliest settlers on the Virginia Frontier, as Col. Preston was instrumental in helping the westward expansion of the colonies. The house, now a museum, displays what family and plantation life had been before the birth of the United States. There’s so much more to see and do in Blacksburg, but don’t forget to discover what lies beyond. Book an RV rental in Blacksburg today, go out and have an epic fun.
