Restoring the Billy Sunday Home
We need your help! As with any building, the Billy Sunday Home needs ongoing maintenance. This summer, the roof needs repaired. The rafter tails, which are rotting and do not meet state historical standards, need fixed to keep the roof from leaking and maintain the integrity of the structure. The roof of the Billy Sunday Home was last repaired when the building was remodeled in 2000 by Ken Nisley and his crew. Nisley has agreed to work on the Home again this summer.
To donate, click on the link at the left. Make sure that under “Designation” you click on “Billy Sunday Home Maintenance.” You can also send a check made out to Grace College to Winona History Center, Grace College, 1 Lancer Way, Winona Lake, IN 46590.
We have already received some donations, and greatly thank our gracious supporters! But we still need approximately $12,000.
历史在你的指尖。
Winona Lake has a colorful past that represents the growth and history of midwest America.
From its Chautauqua and Bible conference heritage to the home of evangelist Billy Sunday to its renaissance in recent decades, the history of Winona has much to offer.
The Winona History Center is located in the original Westminster Hotel, one of several hotels built to lodge the many guests that flocked to Winona Lake through the years. The west wing of the first floor, which houses the museum, was the location of the offices of gospel music pioneer Homer Rodeheaver. In addition to highlighting Rodeheaver’s legacy, the museum includes exhibits on the Chautauqua movement in Winona, its legendary Bible conferences, and evangelist Billy Sunday. It also features hundreds of artifacts and photographs telling of Winona’s ties to America’s cultural, educational, and religious heritage. In addition to the museum, the center offers tours of the Billy Sunday evangelist’s family home, and for researchers, the archives house thousands of documents, recordings, and letters from Winona’s rich past.
Our mission is to foster educational and scholarly interest in Winona’s heritage through the preservation and exhibition of historical collections and by inspiring a new generation to discover the treasures of American history. Visit us today!

The display includes vinyl records recorded at rallies in Winona Lake, a script from a live broadcast from the Billy Sunday Tabernacle of Billy Graham’s radio program Hour of Decision, and various documents and magazines from Youth for Christ.

A History Degree from Grace
基督的一生是一个值得我们努力追求的榜样，但是我们太过渴望忙碌，以至于很容易忽视理解他人的价值。格蕾丝历史和政治科学系的目标就在于此——当学生们研究历史上的人和文化时，他们会对过去有敏锐的理解。当他们观察时事和分析现代政治和社会气候时，他们获得了处理当前文化和社会的能力。当他们准备通过实习进入工作领域时，他们对未来发展出一种服务意识。
