The Alderson Hospitality House (“AHH”) is more than just a place to stay.  It is a ministry providing lodging, meals, local transportation assistance and support to families and friends visiting loved ones at the minimum security, women’s Federal Prison Camp in Alderson, West Virginia.

Since AHH opened in 1977, there have been more than 50,000 overnight guests from all over the world.  We do not charge for our services, but rely only on the generosity of our guests and friends of the house for our operating funds.  We are not part of, nor do we receive any assistance from the Federal Bureau of Prisons, any church or religious organization, any government entity or any corporation.  Our staff, who live and work at AHH, and Board of Directors, who are local community leaders, are all volunteers.

Guests are welcome to share home cooked meals and good conversation, as well as clean comfortable rooms in an old Victorian home.

More than 100 years ago our home was part of the Allegheny Collegiate Institute, a boarding school.  After the school closed, the building was also a hospital and an apartment house.
