Historic Districts

Montgomery County has a wealth of Historic Districts, including three in Christiansburg, two in Blacksburg, and one rural historic district (North Fork Valley) and seven historic districts in Montgomery County. While the authors of this website intend on providing a travelogue for the historic districts, we are currently building the rest of this site, so the districts will have to wait.
