Welcome to the
Kashubian Cultural Institute

& Polish Museum

Come Learn About Polish & Kashubian History

We welcome you to the Kashubian Cultural Institute & Polish Museum of Winona, Minnesota, the Kashubian Capital of America! Our goal is preserving both the Polish and Kashubian history of Winona, as well as continuing the recognition of the Kashubian culture. With an extraordinary amount of Kashubian immigrants arriving in the Winona area in the mid-to-late 1800’s, their ancestors still reside in Winona and maintain their heritage. Today, this Kashubian population is comparatively much larger than other cities and towns across the United States.

As such, Winona has earned the title as the
“Kashubian Capital of America”!
