A NEW DEAL COMMUNITY
ELEANOR'S LITTLE VILLAGE
Arthurdale was the nation’s first New Deal Community and a passion project of First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt. Often called “Eleanor’s Little Village," she visited here 33 times and was intimately involved with the community. Arthurdale Heritage was formed in 1985 to preserve the legacy of this important community.
