The American West Heritage Center is a 175-acre outdoor living history museum situated in Utah’s Cache Valley. Welcoming more than 60,000 visitors annually, 13% of whom are schoolchildren, the center’s mission is “to interpret the heritage and history of the American West from 1820-1920,” centering around four unique cultural groups that inhabited the area during that time period: mountain men, pioneers, early 20th-century farmers and Native Americans. The Tourism Cares grant will help create a permanent educational exhibit inside the Welcome Center about the Bear River Massacre, one of the largest Native American massacres in the history of the west. The unusual project is supported by the Northwestern Shoshone, the Cache Valley Tourism Board and Utah State University.
