The Evergreen Heritage Center (EHC), a 131-acre Allegany County farm established during the Revolutionary War, is listed on the National Register of Historic Properties, is part of Maryland’s Rural Legacy area for its historic and cultural significance and is protected under a conservation easement as part of its commitment to “living off the land” while preserving it for future generations. The EHC Foundation, a 501 (c) (3) public charity, was founded in 2008 to utilize this Maryland treasure to provide hands-on enrichment programs in a Maryland county where the average household income is only 56% of that of Maryland overall and 75% of its children qualify for food assistance. To pursue its mission, the Foundation and its academic, business, and public service partners offer multiple award-winning programs for the benefit of the community. These impactful enrichment programs as well as its three heritage tourism museums (farmhouse, barn, and 100-year-old coal mining camp) serve 18,500 annually.
