2013 PROGRAMS
April 23 - The next Historical Society meeting will be held at the WCA at 534 Garden St. at 7 pm. The speaker will be Martin Babinec who will speak on "Little Falls and Myjava, Slovakia: Cities Intertwined with Shared Family and Community Roots." From 1885 to the early 1900s, hundreds of families migrated from Myjava to Little Falls to establish a new life. Today, many second, third, and fourth generation descendants still reside in Little Falls and the Mohawk Valley, and continue to worship at the Holy Trinity Lutheran Church. Martin has visited Myjava and Slovakia several times over the past twenty years and he will share his knowledge of the shared cultural heritage of the two cities and future plans for cooperation.
