The Oklahoma Heritage Association preserves Oklahoma’s unique history while promoting pride in our great state. The Association is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization funded entirely by private donations and memberships. The OHA is governed by a Board of Directors representing the state of Oklahoma. In addition, the Association has a Teen Board that spreads the mission of the OHA and holds a fund-raiser each year and a Second Century Board made up of young professionals responsible for helping the OHA grow its members.
Located in Oklahoma City, the Oklahoma Heritage Association focuses on telling Oklahoma's history through its people, and each of its programs strives to accomplish that goal. The organization has hosted the Oklahoma Hall of Fame for the past 80 years to recognize the most accomplished individuals from our state. The Association also supports education in a variety of ways, including offering more than $400,000 in scholarships to Oklahoma high schoolers each year and hosting Heritage Week poster and essay competitions for fourth through 12th graders. The organization's annual awards recognize the educators, individuals and organizations that are committed to preserving Oklahoma history, and the Association is the leader in publishing Oklahoma's history. In the organization's new Edward L. Gaylord-T. Boone Pickens Oklahoma Heritage Museum, visitors can meet Oklahomans past and present through high-tech, interactive exhibitory.
