Welcome
The Front Porch is our new online gathering place for friends of The Gray Shed, a space for storytelling, updates, and conversation. It’s where nostalgic souls, makers, and family-history enthusiasts come together to share, learn, and connect.
You can now join directly on our website to read new posts, comment, and take part in community discussions. Whether you stop by for local stories, behind-the-scenes updates, or genealogy inspiration, you’ll find it all right here on the porch.
(If you’re part of our West Virginia Genealogy Facebook Group, you’ll feel right at home. This is where the next chapter of that community continues.)

From Facebook, to the Front Porch
Our West Virginia Genealogy group on Facebook has been home to over 11,000 members who’ve shared stories, photos, and discoveries over the years.
We’re now building the next chapter right here at The Gray Shed on The Front Porch — a quieter, ad-free space for genealogy and local history discussions.
