Maxville Heritage Interpretive Center provides a cultural connection to the historical past of our community. Representation of cultural diversity in Wallowa County is well below average. MHIC’s programs and events incorporate our shared past, and promote cultural diversity through education and the arts.

Colleges and Universities

MHIC has an ongoing partnership with the Environmental Studies Department at Whitman College, which coordinates several field study programs in Wallowa County. MHIC also collaborates with graduate school programs at Oregon State University during its Fall Rural Studies program. These studies involve, but are not limited to, participation in tours at the Maxville site, learning about MHIC archives care from visiting curator at the Tamástslikt Cultural Institute, and participation in presentation and group dialogue.
