The Slovak Garden A Home for Slovak Americans Slovak Cultural Center Museum and Library by Andrew F. Hudak II Welcome to our internet information page. The Slovak Cultural Center is located at 3110 Howell Branch Road in Winter Park, Florida 32792. The Slovak Garden Library/Museum was established in 1988 under the direction of Andrew F. Hudak II, President of Slovak Garden, A Home for American Slovaks, the Officers and Board of Directors. The Slovak Garden Library and Museum will be referred to as THE SLOVAK ARCHIVES. It was formally dedicated and opened to the public at the 37th American Slovak Day held at Slovak Garden, on March 5, 1989. The Library and Museum is open to the public daily, from 8:30 A.M. until 12:30 P.M. Monday through Friday. Visits for other days and hours can be arranged by appointment. Admission is free. The Archive is dedicated to the everlasting memory of Slovak Garden founders, Mary Jerga Belohlavek and Karl Belohlavek. Upon seeing the need for a retirement and cultural center for American Slovaks in Florida, Slovak Garden was founded in 1952 by these two dedicated fraternalists. Special thanks are also extended to John and Anna Kucej of Trumbull, Connecticut, The Ladies Pennsylvania Slovak Catholic Union and its President, Cecilia Sarocky, Andrew and Sophia Hudak II of Parma, Ohio and Anna Cibik of Slovak Village in Winter Park, Florida for making the Slovak Garden Archives dream become a reality through their generous financial donations and spirited encouragement. | |
