The Blair Community Center and Museum is Closed. We are working to make this website a virtual museum to share all the wonderful things and stories people donated to us while we were open. Perhaps another building will open up for us but in the meantime check out our organization the Blair Mountain Heritage Alliance website.
The Blair Mountain Heritage Alliance is a grassroots organization based out of historic Blair, WV, at the foot of Blair Mountain- site of the largest labor insurrection in US history. We work to preserve and raise awareness about the Blair Mountain battlefield and to work toward a sustainable and prosperous future in Blair and the larger central Appalachian region.
Our Archives and Library section is still growing, but is the place to come for research on the Battle of Blair Mountain. Currently, we have a large number of articles online that relate to the battle of surrounding issues. We are working on constructing a searchable database with all the resources listed on line.
Visit our Craft Shop with locally and regionally made goods. All proceeds go right back into the community.
Coal has to be and will be mined. But the top of Blair Mountain needs to be preserved. Once coal is gone in this area we will only have tourism left to sustain the area. I would love to see a state park or county park with picnic tables, shelters, historic trails, maybe even a zipline from the top of the mountain to the town of Blair. Being a lifelong resident I may be a little prejudiced to the area. Keep up the good work with the museum.
