In 1972, a group of Welsh-Americans chartered the Welsh-American Heritage Museum to preserve Welsh history and culture and to preserve the Welsh Congregational Church. The old brick church was a place where the Welsh gathered and sang beloved hymns of their homeland in four-part harmony, and it remains a link in a long, unbroken chain of memories while serving the community as a center of Welsh-American activities and a keeper of the community’s heritage. The red dragon and daffodil are symbols of Wales. This Greek Revival-style brick church, built in 1868, was the second home of the Oak Hill Congregational Church, established in 1841. Its primary builders were Isaac Parry and Thomas Herbert, and its prominent double doors reflected the Welsh tradition of men entering through one door and women and children through the other. By 1890, the church had grown to 175 members and services were in Welsh, but membership declined as use of the language in the area decreased. After 94 years of service, the Welsh Congregational Church closed in 1962.
