OUR MISSION

Preserve. Educate. Celebrate. Steward.

The RV/MH Heritage Foundation has preserved the history of the recreational vehicle and manufactured housing industries since 1972. We protect the vehicles, homes, documents, photographs, artifacts, and personal stories entrusted to us; make that history accessible through museums, archives, research, and public programs; celebrate the leaders whose work shaped both industries; and steward these resources for generations to come.

ONE CAMPUS. MANY WAYS TO EXPERIENCE IT.

Where Industry Heritage Meets Public Experience

The Foundation campus in Elkhart brings its mission together in one place: the RV/MH Hall of Fame, RV Founders Hall, Scoular Manufactured Housing Museum, Kindlund Library & Archives, Northern Indiana Event Center, and annual industry and community events. Visitors can move from historic vehicles and homes to inductee stories, original records, research collections, and the gathering spaces where today’s industries continue to connect.

THE RV/MH HALL OF FAME

Honoring the People Who Built Two Industries

Since the Foundation was established in 1972, the RV/MH Hall of Fame has created a permanent record of the pioneers, entrepreneurs, innovators, and leaders whose service and achievements advanced recreational vehicles and manufactured housing. Explore inductee biographies, induction classes, the nomination process, and the traditions that continue to honor industry achievement.

Walk Through the History of How America Traveled and Lived

RV Founders Hall and the Scoular Manufactured Housing Museum preserve two connected American stories: how people traveled and how people lived. Historic recreational vehicles, manufactured homes, photographs, objects, interpretive displays, and contemporary examples trace decades of design, engineering, craftsmanship, entrepreneurship, and changing consumer life.

A Campus Built to Gather People

The Northern Indiana Event Center extends the Foundation’s mission by bringing people together. Conferences, trade shows, association meetings, weddings, nonprofit programs, community events, and Foundation signature events take place on the same Elkhart campus that preserves the history of the industries it serves.

Help Carry This Heritage Forward

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, the Foundation depends on donors, sponsors, members, industry partners, volunteers, and visitors to preserve our collections, educate the public, celebrate industry leadership, and steward this legacy for the future.
