Current Projects Needing Support

Help us bring history to life! We’re recreating a new General Store and Tavern in our Czech Village to provide a more immersive and safer experience for our visitors. This project will replicate Frank’s Place, originally located on the square in downtown La Grange, and rebuild the General Store adjacent to it.

Fundraising Goal: $80,000

Thanks to the generosity of our supporters and a challenge grant from William Melnar, we’ve reached our initial $50,000 goal. However, we continue to accept donations to this fund to ensure the future operation of the Center. Every contribution, no matter the size, makes a difference!
