A bronze statue of Hedd Wyn, dressed as a shepherd, was unveiled by his mother in the centre of the village in 1923. It bears an [[englyn]] which Hedd Wyn had written in memory of a slain friend, Tommy Morris.

Annwyl nid â'n ango

His sacrifice was not in vain, his face
In our minds will remain,
Although he left a bloodstain
On Germany's iron fist of pain.<ref name=llwyd/>{{rp|p213}}}}

Evans's bardic chair is on permanent display at his family's hill farm, Yr Ysgwrn. The property was preserved just as it was in 1917 by the poet's family and his nephew Gerald Williams (d. 2021), who was the last of his relatives to live on the farm.<ref>{{cite AV media | title=Hedd Wyn: The Lost War Poet | people=Wyn, Euros (director) | date=August 5, 2017 | type=Documentary| publisher=British Broadcasting Corporation}}</ref> For years, Gerald and his brother Ellis continued to farm the land surrounding the farmhouse as custodians of both Yr Ysgwrn and Hedd Wyn’s legacy, welcoming visitors and working to ensure Hedd Wyn’s story lived on. In 2012, fourteen years after Ellis's death, Gerald decided it was time to pass on the custodianship of Yr Ysgwrn to the [[Snowdonia National Park Authority]].<ref>{{cite news | url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-57446605 | title=Gerald Williams: Man who kept WW1 poet Hedd Wyn memory alive dies | work=BBC News | date=11 June 2021 }}</ref>
