History
The National Multicultural Western Heritage Museum was founded February 1, 2001, by Jim and Gloria Austin of Fort Worth, Texas. Their objective was to recognize the individual contributions of many groups from the Western Frontier.

The organization was renamed to its present name in 2008 to better encompass the varied history of the museum.
