Keepsakes. Wall Art. Roanoke.

Roanoke calls itself the Star City of the South for the 88 foot neon star that has glowed atop Mill Mountain since 1949, a beacon over the valley. The Roanoke City Market, operating since 1882, fills downtown with farm stalls, crafts, and breakfast crowds, and the Taubman Museum of Art anchors the cultural district with a striking modern building. The Hotel Roanoke, a Tudor landmark from 1882, welcomes visitors near the railroad tracks that built the city, and the Blue Ridge Parkway runs just south of town with mountain overlooks. Mill Mountain Zoo gives families views and wildlife above the valley.
