SUPPORT HEART MOUNTAIN
Join & Give
The Heart Mountain Wyoming Foundation relies on the support of our members and donors to advance our mission and take on new projects, including the restoration of original Heart Mountain structures. Join Heart Mountain in preserving the past, so that we can share all the lessons it holds for the future.
Our National Historic Landmark includes an award-winning interpretive center, walking trails, memorials, and several original camp structures, all in different stages of restoration. We’re so proud of the site, but preserving this history and providing an informative and authentic experience and space for visitors takes many resources and a team of dedicated professionals–we need your support!
