Tygart Valley Homesteads Historic District

The district encompasses 337 buildings, three sites, and three structures spread across 1,500 acres near the town of Dailey.

The Roosevelt administration established this community during the Great Depression in 1934 as part of a larger initiative to support displaced workers.

The Dailey Community Center, built in 1937, provided a central gathering place where residents participated in social activities and square dances.

Each family received a house with indoor plumbing, surrounded by two acres of land for growing food and maintaining a personal orchard.

The district features Colonial Revival houses in two distinct styles: the A-Frame and Barn House designs, both incorporating oak flooring and pine paneling.
