Augusta Heritage Center in Elkins, West Virginia, is a non-profit organization which teaches workshops, presents, nurtures, and documents traditional arts in Music, Dance, Craft, and Folklore.

Incoming students need to be aware of several changes: 1) The Augusta offices are NOT IN DARBY any longer; we have moved to Hermanson Center (next to the auditorium). 2) Check-in on Sundays will NOT be in Halliehurst; check-in will be in the Hermanson Center lobby next to the new Augusta offices. You may want to park in the large parking lot behind Hermanson Center, because check-in, orientation, and the Sunday night cajun dance are all in the same area. 3) The on-campus traffic pattern has changed. Don't worry, there will be signs to guide you and people directing traffic.
