We are a group of volunteers bound by the common goals. From 2013 till February 2022 our focus areas were Genocide prevention and raising awareness about the Holocaust in Ukraine. Since the start of the full-blown Russian invasion in Ukraine our main focus shifted to humanitarian support of families affected by the war. We are helping people near the frontlines and in recently liberated areas. We are also helping hospitals and orphan homes. During the first 12 months of the full-scale war we helped over 50,000 people with direct cash payments, food, medicine, heat, and transportation and clothes.

Guests enjoy orchardist J. Gilbert Smith's 1905 Craftsman house furnished in the time of the Great Depression and interactive outdoor agricultural exhibits like a restored tractor kids can climb on.

Founded in 2001 the National Multicultural Western Heritage Museum acknowledges the multicultural contributions of Hispanic Americans, Native Americans, European Americans, and African Americans in the settlement of the American frontier. Works of artists and others who documented people and events of the time via journals, photographs, and other historical items are part of the museum's collection of overlooked materials that tell — often for the first time — the complete story of how the West was won. Through various educational programs (e.g., storytelling sessions, "Forgotten Cowboys Tour," cultural heritage workshops, historical reenactments, participatory learning) at the museum and in the community, the Museum shares our multicultural western heritage while instilling positive values of diversity, tolerance, hard-work, and determination. Visitors to the museum and at our traveling exhibitions leave with an awareness that the American West came into being through the struggles and triumphs of racially and socio-economically diverse people.
