Donations

The creation of Freedom’s Frontier National Heritage Area presents an unprecedented opportunity to the 41-county area to share with the nation and the world the incredible role played by this region in defining what Freedom’s Frontier means to America. Developing and creating the organizational infrastructure to support this mission is the first objective of the Board of Trustees. This organization will support and nurture the hundreds of individual museums, attractions, historic sites and activities that together define Freedom’s Frontier National Heritage Area.
