The church has been converted into a Mothman shrine. The eastern part of Helvetia, just over the river, contains Freyja's Haus Restaurant, the stage where the Fasnacht seasonal event begins, a house, and the school haus to the southeast. On the other side of the road is the post office, with a locked safe behind the counter and wooden maintenance and storage shed with a weapons workbench. Just by the road are the town hall with a banjo and a piano for those inclined to gain the Well Tuned bonus and the hotel. The Cheese Haus and the locked Honey Haus lie in the east. Directly east of it is a small unmarked museum with a sleeping bag and a bookstore slightly to the north. The northern side of the town includes the church in the west, with a chemistry station and a voting station on the first floor, Mothman effigy in place of the altar, and a weapons workbench in the attic. When this event takes place, Helvetia is decorated accordingly and the Master of Ceremonies floats about. Helvetia also hosts the seasonal Fasnacht Day. The two main roads are Pickens Road, entering Helvetia from the west and terminating in the east, over the river, at the Helvetia-Adolph Road passing through the town on a north-south axis.

There is a church, store/post office, bookstore, museum, Cheese Haus, The Honey Haus, Freyja's Haus Restaurant, and a few other unmarked buildings which can all be explored. The town was once a tourist destination and features German/Swiss themed buildings to showcase the town's heritage. Helvetia is small and compact, bordered by the mountains on the north and the south, and a river running through the middle. The Cult of the Mothman utilized the local church for a place of worship and Scorched roam the streets. Some of the citizens used the wreckage to build habitation, subsequently known as Horizon's Rest. When a Horizon Airlines jet crashed in the valley to the east, a group of the locals journeyed there to assess the situation and look for survivors. The town invested in Protectron robots to reduce the workload associated with the parade, the robots also serving as a popular tourist attraction. Key among these was the Fasnacht Day celebration, burning an effigy of Old Man Winter after a parade known in West Virginia for its colorful and unique masks. Helvetia maintained its unique Swiss and German-American culture, including art and holidays.

With additional immigration from Switzerland and areas of the United States, Helvetia's population rose to 308 by 1875, specializing in crafts, arts, and agriculture. Settled by German and Swiss immigrants following the Civil War in 1869, Helvetia was a village of professionals and craftsmen, including musicians, cheesemakers, stonemasons, doctors, and teachers.
