​Now Available for $35: The Story of Education in the Bethel Welsh Community.
Between the 1880s and 1960, the children and grandchildren of Welsh pioneers were educated in the one-room schoolhouse we have restored in Wymore’s McCandless Park. Meticulously researched by Jeff Jones, this nearly-100-page book is packed with full-color illustrations and newspaper articles. It is a must-have for anyone interested in Welsh-American pioneer history. The History of Pleasant View Rural School District 81 is available from the Great Plains Welsh Heritage Centre for $35 plus shipping. To place your order, please email gwenithcolgrove@gmail.com

Museum Expansion Project Update: Construction Begins!

 Thanks to our many generous donors, we recently completed the first phase of our 2,200-square-foot museum expansion: the foundation and footings for the new exhibit room. With this step completed, we must now raise the remaining $100K to build the room and finish the interior.

Help us tell the story of the Welsh in North America as it has never been told before! Learn more.

Please consider a tax-free donation to our expansion project.
