The New River Heritage Coalition was formed in 2004 by the leadership of local heritage sites in order to improve the cooperation and collaboration between the member sites. Our goal is to bring a cohesive picture of the cultural heritage that thrives along the New River. The Native Americans, the early explorers, the European settlers, and even the push of industrial development followed the river, and so does our present day search for that heritage.

The New River Heritage Coalition is supported by a grant from the Community Foundation of the New River Valley, membership fees, and private donations. If you would like to be a part of the New River Heritage Coalition, please contact any member site or click the "Contact Us" link below.
