Helvetia, West Virginia is a small Swiss village in a high mountain valley. The original Swiss and German settlers arrived in 1869 and their descendants remain. Due to the isolation of the area, the traditions of dance, music, food, and holidays have survived through the generations. Popular events include: Fasnacht, Ramp Supper, Swiss National Holiday, Chicken Supper, Helvetia Fair, Helvetia Day, and monthly Square Dances. Businesses include the Hutte Restaurant, Beekeeper Bed and Breakfast, Cheese Haus (Cheese House), Healing Honey, General Store, and Blue House Gallerie.

Helvetia is located in Randolph County South of Buckhannon. My brother has a cabin near there and we visit the place when we go hunting.
