Museum
The Howell Harris Museum
The museum shows aspects of the life of Howell Harris, whose 1735 conversion led to the founding of Welsh Methodism; also of the community, Teulu Trefeca, which he established here in 1752.
The displays include a room as it might have been in Harris's time, an outdoor preaching scene and panels telling his story.
A collection of 32 religious books, most of which were printed by the Trevecka Press in the late eighteenth century, are displayed in rotation in the museum, along with artefacts and furniture from Harris's period at the College, many of which have been recently restored.
The Presbyterian Church of Wales refurbished the museum in 2000. It is located within the main building at Coleg Trefeca, on the site of Harris's birthplace.
The museum is within a busy residential training and conference centre and access to the museum is through a frequently used room. It is therefore advisable to telephone before paying a visit. We cannot cater for coach parties without prior arrangement. There is no charge for entry to the museum.
