🇺🇸🇸🇰 Stories of Migration. Courage. Innovation. Connection.

As the United States prepares to celebrate 250 years of independence, we’re launching a special campaign exploring the remarkable connections between Slovakia and America.

For more than two centuries, Slovaks and Americans have shared a history of migration, cooperation, entrepreneurship, and mutual support. From explorers and inventors to immigrants, soldiers, artists, and community leaders, their stories have helped shape both nations.

Here’s what you can look forward to:

📜 Shared History
Discover surprising connections between the Slovak lands and America—some dating back to the very birth of the United States.

⭐ Remarkable People
Meet extraordinary Slovaks and Slovak Americans whose lives left a lasting mark on history, culture, science, exploration, and public life.

🚢 Migration Stories
Follow the journeys of the men and women who crossed the Atlantic, built new lives in America, and connected two worlds through their courage and determination.

🎙️ Podcasts, Articles & More
Explore these stories through social media, newsletters, podcasts, and special features throughout the campaign.

Beginning tomorrow, we’ll take you on a journey through 250 Years of the American–Slovak Story.

Join us as we celebrate the people, stories, and enduring ties that connect Slovakia and the United States.
