Building the country, displaying the excellence of the West
Who are the Great Westerners?
They are the founding fathers and mothers of a land that was explored and settled, they are the great Native people who proudly retained their heritage over centuries, they were the innovators who tamed the mountains and prairies, while growing the crops and cattle that fed the nation.
Collectively, our Hall of Great Westerners did nothing less than transform America and create an ethos of The West which we continue to strive for.
