Heritage Conservation and Educational Enrichment

The Evergreen Heritage Center Foundation was founded to make a meaningful difference in our rural community, where 75% of children qualify for the USDA’s Free and Reduced Meal Program. By working closely with community members, the foundation is dedicated to preserving our history, conserving the environment, and providing empowering educational opportunities through an outdoor classroom setting.

Our Mission

The EHC Foundation, a 501 (c) (3) public charity, was founded in 2008 to utilize this Maryland treasure to provide hands-on enrichment programs in a Maryland county where the average household income is only 48% of that of Maryland overall and 100% of its children qualify for food assistance.

Award-Winning Programs

To pursue its mission, the Foundation and its academic, business, and public service partners offer multiple award-winning programs for the benefit of the community. These impactful enrichment programs as well as its three heritage tourism museums (farmhouse, barn, and 100-year-old coal mining camp) serve 18,500 annually.
