It was like a private community there, because we had a couple hundred kids at the school. The sisters were very dedicated and focused. They were tough but we learned a lot. |
That was the premier furniture store for a long time. |
The exhibit will focus on Slovaks in church and school, in business, sports, entertainment, politics and the military through photographs and artifacts lent by between 40 and 50 area residents. The exhibit will also address Slovak clubs, fraternal organizations and family life by including items like needlework, quilts, antique wooden ironing boards, sauerkraut cutting boards, poppy seed grinders, political memorabilia, military medals and hand-crocheted tablecloths. |
We have been overwhelmed. It's been wonderful. We learned that documentation is so critical to make sure everybody gets back what they want because these are treasures. |
We've had at least 60 people who have brought things in for display. |
