ABOUT THE HELPER PROJECT:
Helper, Utah was once a thriving coal mining community filled with 157 shops, restaurants, and bars owned by one of 16 nationalities represented in the town. It was named for the“helper” engines that made it possible for the trains to climb the steep grade through Price Canyon to Soldier Summit at 7,747'. However, with the downturn in coal production, hard times and accompanying problems creeped into Helper and Carbon County.
In recent years, Helper has evolved into a flourishing art, commercial and recreational community. Longtime citizens, dozens of artists and newcomers dedicated to Helper have ensured the history of the town is preserved – it's evident when you walk down Main Street. The Helper Project works to support the historic, economic, and cultural needs of the citizens.
The mission of The Helper Project is simple: To foster revitalization and historic preservation, encourage economic development, promote cultural connections for the city and citizens of historic Helper, Utah and provide financial support for educational opportunities to the youth of this vibrant community.
