The museum also features a maker space and a native pollinator garden with local butterflies.[2] In partnership with Virginia Tech, the Science Museum of Western Virginia sponsors the annual Virginia Science Festival.[3] HistoryThe museum was chartered in January 1970 as the first science museum in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Originally housed in the 400 square foot basement of Cherry Hill, a multi-cultural center in South Roanoke, it moved in 1976 to the abandoned Tinker Creek School, a 3,000 square-foot building built during World War I.[4] In 1983 the museum moved into the Center in the Square,[5] a renovated large five-story warehouse in the city's downtown market district that opened as a multi-cultural center with other museums and non-profit organizations.
