Montgomery County, Virginia
Montgomery County sits in the heart of Southwest Virginia’s New River Valley. It’s where old meets new in surprising ways. Blacksburg is home to Virginia Tech, a college town full of energy and innovation.
Just down the road, Christiansburg offers small-town charm with a side of modernity. The New River, despite its name, is actually one of the oldest in the United States. It cuts through the county, offering prime spots for fishing and kayaking.
History runs deep here. The county played a role in both the Revolutionary and Civil Wars. These days, it’s known more for high-tech research than battlefields. The combination of rural beauty and academic brainpower makes for an interesting mix.
