Image title | Mask at the Kultur House in tiny Helvetia, once a Swiss colony in Randolph County, West Virginia. The building houses the Helvetia general store, post office, and alpen lodge, and Fasnacht mask museum. At Fasnacht, participants wear masks to scare away Old Man Winter, who is burned on a bonfire at midnight after a candlelight parade and square dance. Fasnacht celebrations are common in Switzerland but rare in the United States. The woodsy community of Helvetia settled by a group of Swiss and German immigrants who came to the rugged, remote hills of West Virginia in 1869. Their numbers, in addition to farmers, included many craftsmen -- stone masons, wagon and shoe makers, carpenters, as well as professionals such as a musician, a doctor, and a teacher. The isolated community is known today (in 2015) for maintaining Swiss traditions, food, and folkways. |
