Late Morning Trivia! [Blacksburg History]
We all know Smithfield Plantation is the oldest building in Blacksburg. The Second oldest house is the 1786 Log home now located on Mccoy Road. The Log Home was moved from its original plot to allow for a new building. Name the building that was built where the Log Home originally sat?
