Museum
The Howell Harris Museum
The museum shows aspects of the life of
Howell Harris, whose conversion (1735)
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.
A list of items included in the museum,
including book titles is available via
the Warden.
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 residential
training and conference centre. 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.
