What is the

Southwestern Heritage Center

The Southwestern Heritage Center Historical Society was formed as a Nonprofit Corporation on November 23, 2021 and is now a 501 (c) 3. The goal is to provide a safe, family friendly environment where citizens, new move-ins, children, youth, senior citizens, and tourists participate in hands-on experiences tied to different aspects of our southwestern heritage. A wise man said, “If we don’t know where we come from, we can’t get back home.” A secondary goal is for every citizen in and tourist to the area to pay to visit the Center, with their family, by 2030. We believe the Center will become a destination, helping individuals remember the trails, places, and people today’s society is built on, while contemplating ways to improve the trails, places, and people tomorrow’s society will be built on. This is our heritage.

“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”

The Stories being collected in the swhchs.org Stories Database teach us about the past. If learned by our youth, these stories will help them not repeat the mistakes of the past. If learned by adults, these stories will help us focus our lives on activities which fit the local southwestern heritage and culture, and will help us learn what brought unhappiness and what brought joy to those who trod these valleys before us.
