Residents of the village work hard at maintaining the traditions and customs of the people who settled there. Helvetia was the first district in the state to be placed on the National Register of Historic Places. There are 10 historic buildings that have been preserved including an original settler's cabin which serves as a museum containing many of the articles used by the original settlers in everyday life. In addition to relaxing there is hiking on nearby mountain trails, fishing in local streams, walking along peaceful country roads, and strolling in local gardens. In the winter, many people come to cross-country ski.
Some people just like to curl up by the fire in the winter or sit on the porch in the summer.
It will hopefully provide news and information concerning events such as family reunions that can help us maintain ties with people and traditions that we love. Special thanks to Eleanor Mailloux for providing much of the information. The site is hosted by Rogers McAvoy .
