Mission Statement
RV/MH Heritage Foundation is dedicated to enhancing the RV & MH Industries by providing a facility to preserve the history and honoring the pioneers who have made significant contributions to the good of the two industries.

ITS MISSION WAS FIVE FOLD:
- To maintain a Hall of Fame to honor the leaders of our Industries. Today we have over 480 members with their plaque displayed on the “Wall of Fame.”
- To archive our history. Today we have a great library with over 20,000 industry publications
- To create a display of historic products for both RV & MH Industries. Today we have a one of a kind RV museum starting with over 100 year old RV’s. Also in 2022 we opened the Scoular MH museum which a 21,000 square foot facility providing a walk through the evolution of the manufactured housing industry.
- To aid in promoting the RV/MH industries. Today we have the GoRving Hall highlighting todays world of RV lifestyle and three brand new Manufactured Homes displayed within the Scoular MH museum.
- To provide a first class event center. Today we operate the Northern Indiana Event Center ( N.I.E.C ) with over 58,000 sq..ft. of space available in eight different areas, plus over a million square feet of rally and parking accomodations.
In the past eight years we have made great strides in improving the financial stability of the RV/MH Heritage Foundation by becoming debt-free and increasing our net worth from a negative value to over $22,000,000 in assets over expenses.
RVMH Heritage Foundation has plans to build a 36,000 square foot event center early 2023 which will complete the vision for the 40 acre site.
