Jack O'Connor Hunting & Heritage Center
The home of the Jack O'Connor Hunting Heritage & Education Center sits high on a grassy hilltop in Idaho's Hells Gate State Park, overlooking the banks of the Snake River, not far from the entrance to Hells Canyon, and just a short distance from the home where Jack O'Connor lived in Lewiston, Idaho.
Hundreds of thousands of visitors pass through the Lewis-Clark Valley each year, many on their way to explore Hells Canyon or to enjoy the outdoor recreation the region offers. The Jack O'Connor Center is ideally situated above the banks of the Snake River and tells the story of the famous outdoor writer Jack O'Connor, along with displays of his extensive collection of hunting trophies.
The Idaho Department of Parks & Recreation and the non-profit Jack O'Connor Hunting Heritage & Education Corporation have entered into a partnership to bring this unique visitor center to Idaho.

- Serves as a memorial to the legacy of Jack O'Connor, one of the foremost outdoor writers of the 20th century, displaying his collection of trophy heads, his writings, guns, and related memorabilia.
- Promotes and perpetuates the hunting heritage of America
