The third annual Kentland Folk Life Festival is a collaborative effort between various Virginia Tech faculty and students and residents of communities in northwest Montgomery County. Local residents celebrate their agricultural and coal mining heritage through an expose of local knowledge and culture at Virginia Tech's premier agricultural research station, Kentland Farm, located along the New River in Whitethorn, Virginia. Tours of the Manor House, which was completed circa 1832, will be conducted by professors and students from the department of interdisciplinary studies. An archeological excavation on the site of the former slave quarters will also be open to the public.
