Latest news from GPWHP:

Due to an overwhelming number of Welsh artifacts donated to the museum for their safekeeping the museum is currently embarking on a Capital Campaign to enlarge their current premise in Wymore.

This effort is being spearheaded by their new director, Robert Humphries.

Contact Robert for more information and on where to direct your donation.

The Welsh Cambrian Society of Chicago has donated a substantial number of our archives to the museum as well as items given to us by long time members for safekeeping.

The handmade Welsh Dragon pennant (below), made in Chicago in the early 1900s, is now hanging in one of their meeting rooms.

 

This amazing museum in Wymore, Nebraska continues to upgrade its facility and to add more archives to its growing collection.  It was a main focus of the NAFOW 2023 celebration in Lincoln, Nebraska.
