Autumnal Evening of Songs and Stories at Blacksburg Museum

Blacksburg Museum & Cultural Foundation, 204 Draper Rd SW, Blacksburg, VA 24060, United States
WebsiteDirections
For spooky season, Ash and a few other local musicians will regale us with ballads & songs of transition, haunting, death, mourning, and creatures of the night. At the historic Alexander Black House.
Between songs, we encourage you to share stories of any hauntings you've experienced in the NRV! Free, but donations are encouraged.
Due to the exhibit that will be installed during, and as part of, this event, we need to cap attendance at 35, and RSVPs are strongly encouraged. Grab your spot at the BMCF calendar at https://blacksburgmuseum.org/events/
