Historic Smithfield presents two historic talks titled "Roots & Routes" on Friday, July 3, 2026 inside the Community Room located within the Christiansburg Library.
UPDATE: Due to the expected heat, this event has been moved from Historic Smithfield's Pavilion to the Community Room inside Christiansburg Library.
Join us for two talks that offer a nuanced look at the New River Valley’s early settlers from the forces that brought them across the Atlantic to the complex legacy they forged on the Virginia frontier.
The talks will be given by Amateur Historian & Genealogist Jef Graham and Executive Director of Historic Smithfield Michael Hudson.
Together, these talks invite us to grapple with a founding family whose story reflects both the ambition and the deep contradictions of early American settlement.
Admission is free and open to the public.
The Christiansburg Library is located at 125 Sheltman Street in Christiansburg, VA.
