The pleasant view heritage foundation was founded in 2021.
The Heritage Foundation
The Pleasant View Heritage Foundation supports Pleasant View City in educating the general public to identify, preserve and increase public knowledge and appreciation of the history and heritage of Pleasant View. That support includes finding photographs and stories and obtaining physical and architectural artifacts relating to the northern portion of Weber County centered in the Pleasant View area.
As a non-profit, we are always looking for volunteers interested in preserving history and educating newcomers and families about our rich heritage. Please consider contacting us so we can explain further our goals to see if they match your willingness to serve.
The Foundation is designated a 509(a)(2) Public Charity allowing for deductibility of contributions.
