Inc. (AHI) has worked to preserve the history of the nation's first
New Deal Homestead Community, started under the Roosevelt
Administration. AHI was created by volunteers, many of whom were
original homesteaders, to preserve their family and community history.
AHI has since become essential to maintaining northern West Virginia's
economy through tourism and promoting education about the Depression
Era. For more information visit the official race website at

Facebook event.
