The Appalachian Forest National Heritage Area celebrates the Appalachian forest - its history, culture, natural resources, and forest heritage.

We focus on cultural heritage, conservation, and tourism to support rural community development in western Maryland and the highlands of West Virginia.


We are proud to introduce the AFNHA Digital Discovery Guide to showcase the unique and significant places and events that make AFNHA the perfect place to visit any time of the year.
