The Western Art Collection
The Hitchcock Foundation’s objective is to provide a suitable repository for the Western art collection of Ed Hitchcock that he has collected over the years. Ed has willed his Western art collection to the Hitchcock Foundation, and it is to be displayed in order that it may be enjoyed by the public in a true Western setting.
