The story of our ancestors and our history is far reaching!

The Museum of the Kozle Region Received Recognition for an exhibit they created in 2024 about "the 170th Anniversary of Emigration from Silesia to Texas." The exhibition was dedicated to the ancestors who left their homes in Poland in the 19th century and dared to venture across the ocean. The exhibit attracted tremendous public interest and drew a large audience. Congratulations to the Museum of the Kozle Region and the exhibit creators!
