Dedication of the Auditorium

Construction was completed for the Eisteddfod Auditorium in 1928. This was the only building in the United States erected solely for the purpose of holding Eisteddfods.

The Southeast Ohio Eisteddfod Association purchased three acres near downtown Jackson and raised the $28,000 needed to build the auditorium. The building had a seating capacity of 4,000 and a stage that could hold choruses of 300 to 500 people.
