In the East End. This museum tells the history of the Kashubian Polish people who fled their homeland in the 19th century to Winona.
The Kashubian Cultural Institute & Polish Museum is a cultural and historical museum, founded in 1979 to preserve the Polish and Kashubian heritage of Winona, Minnesota. Known locally as the Polish Museum, it is housed in a lumber yard office built by the Laird-Norton Lumber Company in 1890, located at 102 Liberty Street in Winona, Minnesota, United States. The museum was formerly known as the Polish Cultural Institute and Museum, but through the direction of Jeff Turkowski, a Kashubian activist, it has since updated its name to expand upon the highlights of the Kashubian culture within Winona.
