National Coal Heritage Area Authority
Oak Hill, WV
The National Coal Heritage Area (NCHA) is one of only 40 nationally designated heritage areas in the entire United States. It represents a part of the growing effort by the National Park Service to develop resource protection initiatives for areas of national importance that rely on partnerships and private ownership rather than the traditional methods of Federally owned parklands. The mission of the National Coal Heritage Area is to preserve, protect, and interpret lands, structures and communities associated with the coal mining heritage of West Virginia. This area is a destination worth visiting during the wintertime.
