Let us take a tour of the Centre....watch as we change and grow....

Please click on each picture for a larger view.

Welcome into the Centre vestibule...don't forget to sign our guestbook and take a look at our temporary Donor Wall. The wall contains Donors, as well as, "In Memoriam" to those special loved ones. The WWI uniform was donated by the Roberts family and the costume, Welsh dancing uniform, is directly from Wales.

 After you sign in you will see our busy John E. & Sara A. Jones Office area. Watch out when the papers are flying and work needs to be done, especially when Berwyn is trying to get the quarterly newsletter out!

Next you can look in on our Ellsworth & Hazel (Jenkins) Closs Family Oral History Room. We have much to do in this room but we have tried to make it inviting and comfortable for you to tell your family history. We really don't want to lose that history so please let us know if you would like to be interviewed and tell your story. Added to the room is a computer donated by Marilyn Samuelson and the Past Perfect Software was donated by Dr. Ada Mae Lewis.

Join us in the Richard & Nellie Williams Auditorium for films, singing, poetry, culture....well, just plain fun of enjoying & learning about Welsh heritage. We can't wait to put theatre system technology in the auditorium. Films again in Wymore! The auditorium also houses the wonderful Bethel Organ.

Walk down the "Hall of Heroes" and read about fellow Welshmen that have contributed to their adopted country. We can't wait to fill this wall up. If you have someone you would like to see honored, please let us know.

The Dr. Charles & Emma Thomas Exhibit Room houses our main displays. We are working hard at trying to purchase technology that will enable GPWHP to make a "state of the art" Interactive Centre.

The family corner is now displaying artifacts from the R.E. Jones & J.W. Jones families.

This is where you will find the "Family Corner" display. Each Welsh family of the Great Plains area is invited to take a turn displaying their period furniture, photographs, and artifacts in a corner grouping simulating a room their home. Gather your family items and bring them in for temporary display to be a part of history. Please contact us for exhibit dates.

We can't let you forget to visit our Isaac & Jane Williams Gift Shop. We have great items for purchase as well as other display items. Please remember that if you buy Welsh products from Simple Soothings 70% will go to GPWHP. There are also some great gifts brought back by Berwyn & Martha from Wales, Red Dragons made by local crafter Bob Allen and Wheat Fans. In the shop is also housed the new computer with the Rosetta Stone software to learn Welsh language. These items were donated by the Closs Family. Storing the computer is a beautiful armoire donated by Berwyn Jones.

The Centre also houses two handicap accessible restrooms, a kitchen and storage area. East side of kitchen with new cupboards and lots more counter space.  West side of kitchen with a stove (of course, with the teapot ready), more cupboards and refrigerator. What a needed improvement!

 Pictured here is the north side of the Centre where the Welsh courtyard will be. As you can see we have come a long way but also have a long ways to go. We WELCOME you to visit the Centre and join in the journey along with the GPWHP to preserve Welsh heritage for our future generations. The Roberts Family donated Bud Roberts memorials to work in the garden. What a great gift!  Click here to return to Centre main page.
