 Rail lines weave romantically throughout Roanoke, tying the town to ports and portals, far from the beckoning Blue Ridge. Once a place called “Big Lick,” Roanoke took its present name – for an Indian word meaning “shell money” – not long after the railroad arrived in western Virginia in the 1850s.
Today, the city skyline glistens in the starlight, as well as Roanoke’s man-made wonder – the Roanoke Star – while, at the city’s heart, rail lines shine in the summer sun, providing a continuing link to the city’s past. In nearly all ways, the railroad has spurred a sophisticated spin within this city – and continues to inspire wonder through the mystique of its museums, train-side thoroughfares, architectural gems and the fabulous Hotel Roanoke.

 The German Baptist influence in a Virginia region has given a museum and institute success in recording its past.
For over 30 years, Ferrum College’s Blue Ridge Institute & Museum has documented the folkways of the people living in and around the Blue Ridge Mountains. The facility, for instance, recalls the year 1800, when a 30-mile trip took a day or more to complete.
