The Bear River Heritage Area (BRHA) consists of seven counties: Bear Lake, Caribou, Franklin, and Oneida in Idaho; and Box Elder, Cache, and Rich in Utah. It is a consortium of many organizations in government, education, tourism, recreation, and other areas. We are dedicated to economic development through promotion and stewardship of the cultural and natural resources that are unique to this region.

The BRHA is a place where people enjoy distinctive cultural groups and contrasting landscapes, and experience stories and consequences of the expanding American West; where responsible stewardship sustains the pastoral and natural landscapes, historic land uses, cultural sites, traditions, skills and knowledge, which contribute to a viable regional economy.

As part of our mission, we work with local arts organizations to promote folk and traditional arts. Some of our previous projects include creating exhibits on quilts and brands; interviewing local artists; holding workshops for participants to learn saddle making, rawhide braiding, and silversmithing; and publishing brochures and books about regional heritage spots.
