Heber Valley Heritage Foundation initiates ways to preserve and cultivate the heritage and culture of Heber Valley. We are the repository for and the source of historical information for Heber Valley.

What We Do: Our Centers of Operation

Heber Valley Research and Discovery Center

We use volunteers to list, physically survey, and record the “back story” of all historic homes, buildings, and sites in Heber Valley. We also catalog the stories and histories of our Heber Valley founders and those who have come afterwards.

Dr. R. Raymond Green Community Digitizing Center

We provide a facility where all community members can bring their Heber Valley family histories. Hosts can serve patrons onsite or at their homes as an “outreach” service. 

Living History Sites & Interpretive Centers

We memorialize physical sites for visitors to experience, learn, and understand our Heber Valley progenitors.

Community Digital Archive and User Experience Center

We provide a facility where volunteers digitally store all information submitted to the Dr. R. Raymond Green Community Digitizing Center. We aim to make this information readily available to the general public in an easily searched, indexed and visual way.

Community Audio/Visual Production Studio

We provide a center for production of mini documentaries, micro histories, podcasts, monument signs, pageants, historic plays, community reunions, and all other visual presentations and productions.
