What is The Workshop's story?

Years of planning became a reality when Plain City community member Perry Yoder made a generous donation to construct a space meant to be utilized and enjoyed by the whole community. The Perry Yoder Workshop and Community Room opened to the public in March 2025.

How much does it cost to use The Workshop?

While there is no charge to use our equipment, you will need to pay for your project materials. If you'd rather bring your own supplies, Workshop staff will need to check that your materials are compatible with our machines.
