The mission of the Imogen F.Wilson Education Foundation at the Mimbres Culture Heritage Site is to protect and preserve the prehistoric and historic features of the site, and to provide visitors with educational opportunities to increase their understanding of the history of land use in the Mimbres Valley by experiencing the Mattocks Ruin, the Wood and Gooch houses,  and the land itself.
