The National Multicultural Western Heritage Museum was founded February 1, 2001, by Jim and Gloria Austin of Fort Worth, Texas.

Included in these groups are people of Hispanic, Native American, European, Asian, and African descent.

The organization was renamed to its present name in 2008 to better encompass the varied history of the museum.
