Montgomery County is located in the southwestern part of Virginia in the region known as the New River Valley. This region takes its name from the New River, the nation's oldest and the w orld's second oldest river, and includes the counties of Floyd, Giles, Montgomery, Pulaski, and the City of Radford. The County has a land area of 393 square miles and lies in the broad picturesque area between the Appalachian Plateau and the Blue Ridge Mountains. Topography varies from gently rolling to steep mountainous terrain, with elevations varying from 1,300 to 3,700 feet above sea level. The majority of the County is at an elevation of 2,000 feet.

This part of southwestern Virginia was first explored in 1671 when an expedition discovered the New River. Pioneers from Pennsylvania and eastern Virginia began settling the region in the early 1700s. These early settlers were predominantly of German, French, Scotch-Irish, and English descent.

Today the Towns of Blacksburg and Christiansburg, the County seat, are the population centers of the County and are located approximately 35 miles southwest of the City of Roanoke. Blacksburg is home to Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech). Christiansburg is the retail center of the New River Valley. In 2000 the County's estimated population was 83,629.

In the 1950s the Lyric was renovated and the original corner pieces on either side of the stage were removed to make way for a new cinemascope screen. The tapestries along the sidewalls were covered up by curtains and the lanterns were removed. The Kelsey family operated the Lyric until 1989 when the construction of a multiplex at a nearby mall forced it to close. Virginia Tech briefly used the Lyric as a classroom but for most of the period from 1989 to 1996 it remained closed.

In 1995, a group of citizens banded together to create The Lyric Council, which was determined to reopen the Lyric and return it to its former glory. They were able to negotiate a 30-year rent-free lease with owners of the building in return for raising the money and completing the renovations of the theater. The projection equipment was repaired, the concession stand was cleaned up, a new coat of paint was applied to the lobby, and in 1996 the Lyric was reopened for the first time in 8 years. The theater was operated in somewhat poor conditions for two years while money was being raised for the full-scale renovations. The Lyric was closed in Feb 1998 and the much anticipated renovations began. Construction work continued through the spring and summer of 1998 and in October the theater was complete!
