Roanoke is a city in the Blue Ridge Mountains of southwest Virginia. It’s known for the Roanoke Star, also known as the Mill Mountain Star, a neon landmark overlooking the city from the summit of Mill Mountain. The surrounding park area is home to trails, picnic areas and the Mill Mountain Zoo. Downtown, the Taubman Museum of Art highlights work by American artists like Thomas Eakins and John Singer Sargent. Roanoke is also known for its rich heritage of higher education. Some of the local colleges and universities include: Hollins University, Radford University, Radford University Carilion, Roanoke College, and the Roanoke Higher Education Center. Inspired by the history and charm of Roanoke, the artists of Anderson Design Group have created an original illustration, handcrafted to celebrate the beauty of one of America's favorite college towns. This design will look lovely as a print, canvas, metal sign, postcard or notecard.
