Woodrow Wilson’s Legacy on Armenia and Armenians
OUR VISION
“That which you fall in love with as a child,
In years revere and fight to uphold undefiled,
Must first be known in its perfect design,
Lest it become a distant memory in time.”

This precept is the very pillar upon which our vision for Armenian heritage rests, one that would thrive within its natural borders and beyond.
Wilsonian Heritage was founded in November of 2021 in response to the 2020 war inflicted on Artsakh, which resulted in the devastation of some of the nation's most treasured aspects of cultural and historical legacy. We are a nonprofit organization of dedicated volunteers with a shared love for the heritage we are determined to preserve and promote, in hopes of keeping it alive for future generations and ensuring the continuity of Armenian national identity—the basis of our collective existence and self-worth.
Throughout history, the United States has played a pivotal role in protecting the Armenian people and their heritage, yet to this day, some of the most meaningful pages of our shared history remain unknown to many. We aim to revive and deepen our century-old official relationship through programs educating on our values, history, and culture.
Preserving Armenian heritage is also a way for us to give back to America through our humble contribution to this great nation’s vibrant melting pot.
It is an honor to have you as part of our vision.

The Treaty was drafted and signed between the Western Allied Powers and the defeated Ottoman Empire in August 1920 and as an arbitration award, it reassigned vanquished territories to their original countries …..
