Welcome to the
El Paso Museum of History Foundation
The sole purpose of the El Paso Museum of History Foundation is to mobilize resources for acquisition, conservation and education that helps the El Paso Museum of History tell the evolving story of the Pass of the North.
Our Vision
A vibrant community that shapes its future by understanding its past.
Our Mission
The El Paso Museum of History Foundation mobilizes resources for acquisition, conservation and education that helps the El Paso Museum of History tell the evolving story of the Pass of the North.
Our History
The Friends of the El Paso Museum of History was organized in 1991 as a Texas not for profit organization to provide supplemental funding for the El Paso Museum of History.
In 2006, the Friends of the El Paso History Museum was renamed the El Paso Museum of History Foundation. With the opening of a newly constructed Museum of History its mission crystalized into mobilizing resources for acquisition, conservation and education to help the El Paso Museum of History tell the evolving story of the Pass of the North.
In 2016 the El Paso Museum of History Foundation became a supporting organization of the El Paso Community Foundation. This relationship provides the Museum of History Foundation with the opportunity to focus on its fund development activities with the support, including administrative support, of the El Paso Community Foundation.
Foundation Board
The El Paso Museum of History Foundation Board is made up of volunteers with a passion for history and deep involvement in our community. The Board is committed to promoting the El Paso Museum of History for the benefit of our vibrant community.
