Travel back in time and witness Roanoke Valley's humble beginnings and
how it has grown into the region it is today.
Nestled in the shadows of the Blue Ridge, the Roanoke Valley has
developed as the capital region for western Virginia. After a century of
growth fueled by transportation, education, and healthcare, the region
has undergone significant visible change. While some of the valley's
landmarks remain, many have been replaced or dramatically altered.
