About Arthurdale, West Virginia
Arthurdale rests in a valley cradled by the rolling hills of Preston County, a place where the Appalachian terrain softens into broad, arable slopes. It lies 11.9 miles south-east of Morgantown, WV (from Morgantown, WV: bearing 141°T), and is situated 9.4 miles south-south-east of Brookhaven. The air, particularly in the late afternoon, carries a damp, earthy scent, a mingling of pine needles and the rich loam of cultivated fields, and the light, as it begins its descent, casts long, warm shadows that stretch across the meadows like a painter’s brushstrokes. Here, the landscape is a tapestry of greens, from the deep emerald of the surrounding forests to the lighter, more vibrant hues of freshly tilled land, bisected by the quiet, meandering flow of smaller streams that feed into the larger waterways. The houses, many built in a distinctive, sturdy style, stand with a quiet dignity, their porches often occupied by residents who watch the day’s end with a contemplative gaze. The story of Arthurdale is deeply entwined with the ambitious New Deal projects of the 1930s, a bold experiment in cooperative living and rural resettlement. Designed as a model community, it aimed to provide a fresh start for families displaced by economic hardship, and the echoes of that vision can still be felt in the layout of the settlement and the enduring spirit of its people. The local economy, though no longer centered on the agricultural cooperatives that once defined it, retains a connection to the land, with small farms and businesses contributing to the area’s sustenance. The historic Arthurdale Heritage, Inc. center stands as a reminder of this unique past, a place where the legacy of those early days is preserved, offering a glimpse into the determination that shaped this particular corner of West Virginia.
