Keeping History Alive
Showcasing America’s Heritage and Ingenuity
The Richard W. Erickson Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, which was established in 1999 with a vision to preserve early American history in a way that would provide an educational and recreational experience for the community. Our Antique & Classic Power Museum houses one of the largest and most unique collections of antique and classic automobiles, motorcycles, farm implements, steam and gas tractors as well as Americana memorabilia. Our pioneer village includes an array of old buildings; a shoe shop, print shop, church and Wallsburg’s first mercantile established in 1890.

We do private tours by appointment, please visit our Visitor Info for more details. This museum is a hidden gem and earns five stars as a premier Utah family activity.
