We know very little about why our grandfathers left their families and went to the unknown world. We have no idea how difficult it must have been for the first generation of immigrants to America. No knowledge of the language, manners, just a great desire to work. The name of the Museum – Kasigarda is a Slovak crumb of the English Castle Garden, the main gate of the immigration office in New York, which every immigrant had to go through. “Kasigarda” accurately reflects the phenomenon of emigration. Illiteracy, ignorance of language, hardship, stress, disappointment, but above all the hope that Kasigard represented for many of our ancestors.
