VOLUNTEERS are preserving the past and inspiring the future, at a community museum.
Cefn Mawr Museum, nestled behind the George Edwards Hall on Well Street, stands as a proud testament to the rich history of the community.
Supported by the dedicated volunteers of the Cefn Mawr Historical Society and in partnership with Cefn Community Council, this remarkable museum offers a window into the past, showcasing everything from local industrial heritage to personal stories passed down through generations.

What makes this museum truly special is the passion and commitment of its volunteer team, who generously give their time to preserve and celebrate the history of Cefn Mawr.
These volunteers not only maintain and curate the displays but also bring them to life with their knowledge and personal dedication.

Barbara Lloyd, the museum's voluntary treasurer and long-time servant, speaks passionately about the team's efforts.
She said: "Every member of our team is a volunteer, dedicating their time purely out of love for our community's history. We do this because it's important to us to preserve these stories, not just for ourselves but for future generations. It's a labour of love, and we're proud of what we've built together."

Phil Vaughan, joint chairman of Cefn Community Council and Cefn Mawr Historical Society, shares his enthusiasm for the project.
He added: "Our museum thrives on the incredible commitment of our volunteers. These are local people giving their own time, and it's this dedication that keeps the museum alive. The partnership between the council, the historical society, and the volunteers has created something truly special here - a museum that reflects the heart and soul of Cefn Mawr. We're immensely proud of what we've achieved and excited for the future."
The museum is open on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, from 10am-12.30pm, and entry is free, providing the entire community with an accessible opportunity to connect with its roots.
