Montgomery County is turning 250, and its story stretches far beyond today’s borders. In this episode of the Cardinal News 250 Podcast, host Dutchie Jessee sits down with Montgomery Museum Executive Director Sherry Wyatt to explore how a vast frontier county formed in 1776 became the New River Valley community we know today.
From early settlers traveling the Great Wagon Road to Christiansburg’s role in westward expansion, they trace the people, industries and turning points that shaped the region. They also discuss how the Montgomery Museum of Art and History is bringing that history to life through exhibits, events and new investments in accessibility.
