The Arthurdale Heritage holds annual events.

Story by Macall Allen

ARTHURDALE — An auction was held at the Arthurdale Center Hall Sunday in Preston County as part of the annual community yard sale.

The auction was part of the 8th annual event which benefits schools in Arthurdale and the historic preservation operations of the New Deal community project.

The Arthurdale Heritage Craft Shop also reopened this weekend.

The Shop was closed for the winter and also to make some repairs to the shop windows.

The craft shop features the work of local artisans. Read the rest of this entry »

If you get the Smithsonian magazine, then you probably already saw the “Heritage Culture” booklet that was glued into the May issue of the magazine.  I’ve scanned the cover, the page opposite the one with the Arthurdale information (on West Virginia in general), and the page with the 1/6 ad showing the Arthurdale banner (with the Greater Morgantown’s banner).  I thought everyone would enjoy seeing it.
