The AWHC was organized in 1995 when two Utah State University programs, the Ronald V. Jensen Historical Farm and the Festival of the American West, merged to form a non-profit foundation. The Foundation’s activities are centered around and focus on the preservation of the living history within the time period of 1820-1920. Job opportunities are typically seasonal and include volunteers, interns, full and part-time employees.
