CROESO / WELCOME
The Welsh-American Heritage Musuem is currently closed as we are in the final phase of our very exciting refurbishment project.
FUNDRAISER
As our construction/refurbishment project comes to an end, a project we were fortunate enough to have received almost $400,000 of state funds to make possible as well as $5,000 in local match our focus changes to our contents, and preserving Welsh history in Southeast Ohio and beyond, and we need your help with our latest fundraiser!
This fundraiser is specifically towards the cost of “solar blinds” for our large windows to help protect our artefacts, it will also help us purchase a variety of archival materials to protect individual items in our care, and will also allow us to increase how much we have on display and our narrative texts in current displays.

No experience is needed at all, all training will be provided.
