Tallmadge History Digital Exhibit
Description
Located at the Northwest Six Corners, the Welsh Church played an important role in the religious life of Tallmadge. Many people emigrated from Wales to Tallmadge to take advantage of the coal mining industry, at its peak in this area between 1860 and 1870. A religious people, they soon formed a church. For many years church members met in private homes, and later in a school building. This church was built around 1860 at the intersection of Route 532 and Brittain Road. The Welsh Congregational Church disbanded by the 1890s, and the building abandoned. It was demolished in about 1925.
