Madog Center for Welsh Studies
Welsh Scenic Byway
The Welsh-American Heritage Museum
in the village of Oak Hill (412 Main Street) was originally a
Congregational Church (1869). The
museum is home to a collection of rare books, family albums, framed of
Welsh-American and Welsh ancestors, an organ, piano, dolls, pictures,
dishes and memorabilia. During the summer, the Museum is
open Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays from 2:00 to 4:00 PM and is well
worth a visit. Other attractions include the our
own Madog Center for Welsh Studies: we are located in the
Elizabeth F. Davis House on the University of Rio Grande, Ohio campus
and house a vast library of Welsh
historical, genealogical and contemporary information.
Visitors are welcome to call or visit us. There are no fewer than eight
Welsh Churches and cemeteries along the Byway forming a loop between
Gallipolis and Jackson. The oldest of these churches is Look out for the Ohio Department of Transportation Scenic Byway Program Signs (above) which have been partnered with the Madog Center's own Welsh Scenic Byway signs. These signs can be seen all along the Welsh Scenic Byway.
