Christiansburg, Virginia, established on November 10, 1792, was originally a string of taverns and rest stops along the Great Wilderness Road (present-day U.S. Route 11). The town was named in honor of Colonel William Christian, an early settler in the region, a member of the Virginia Legislature, and was also the brother-in-law of Patrick Henry. Theodore Roosevelt wrote that Colonel Christian was a “noted Indian fighter” and a “very gallant and honorable man.”

I have moved to this beautiful town temporarily to work on a Government construction project and while working out of town always sucks, the awesome landscapes around here are endless. It seems like another beautiful picture awaits you around every turn.
