The Emigration from the territory of Slovakia

The ambition of the Museum of Emigration from Slovakia to North America – Kasigarda is to map the activities of our compatriots in North America. The object of interest is mainly Slovak and Ruthenian associations in North America.

The pride of our Museum is the mapping of Slovak and Ruthenian churches in North America. Our big project, in which we have high hopes, is the Interactive Map of Emigration from Slovakia to North America. Here we plan to interview every single emigrant through a questionnaire, the result of which will be a database presented on the interactive map.
