Historic Cabins and the Welsh Kitchen in Samaria

During the Welsh Festival events, many visitors made their way out to Samaria to visit some of the historic cabins on display, as well as the newly opened Welsh Kitchen.

The cabins, which have been moved from around the valley to the Malad Valley Heritage Square in Samaria and restored, include a number of kitchens.  The Margaret Morse Williams Summer kitchen has been restored to a functional kitchen, and furnished with items Luke Waldron brought back from a recent trip to Wales.  Margaret came to Samaria from Llanelly, Wales with her parents Richard and Maria Jones Morse in 1869.  She eventually married Daniel James Williams and raised nine children, using the kitchen cabin for meal preparation.  She died in 1935 and in buried at the Samaria Cemetery.  Kitchenware, cookware, furniture, and other authentic pieces now fill the kitchen, which will be fully functional for Samaria Days on July 21 and 22.

Samaria Days starts at Samaria Centennial Park on Friday night at 7 p.m. and continues from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday.
