The Post Office in Helvetia, WV is located in Kultur Haus Helvetia. The first postmaster was appointed in 1872 and the post office has been in the current location since it was built in the late 1940s. It was likely housed in the older part of the building for many years before this. A wall from the older Post Office, including the post office boxes with the names of the users, remains in the back of Kultur Haus Helvetia.
The US Postal Service has proposed the closure of the Helvetia Post Office. The proposal will make Rock Cave Post Office the nearest facility. Rock Cave is 20 miles distant (about 35 minutes drive from the Helvetia Post Office in good weather). A meeting with personnel from the Postal Service was held on December 21 at 6:00 p.m. at the Helvetia Community Hall. A transcript of the meeting is available for downloading and a copy of the follow-up letter to meeting attendees is also available. A PDF copy of the Post Office closure proposal is available for downloading. There is also a Microsoft Word document of the comment form. This has text boxes for your comments. The boxes expand as you type. Printed copies of the proposal are available at the Helvetia Post Office.
