Coming Soon: Secrets of the Ledger Exhibit

Opening Reception: Thursday, November 14, 5:00 - 7:00 PM.

Delve into the secrets of a 1820s general store, run by William Kyle in downtown Christiansburg. Recreated and researched using the ledger book carefully penned in Kyle’s complex script, the ledger opens a portal into how those in Christiansburg lived in the 1820s. This exhibition uses information from the ledger to analyze and interpret business in the store, the products sold, frequent customers, and occurrences where women and enslaved individuals interacted with the store. Explore the ledger for yourself in this interactive exhibition.

More information coming soon.
