Árpádhon: The Hungarian Settlement ⛵ (ID: 6b32a8)Country code: us, country type: geoip, valid: 1  12533

On my way back to Florida, I stopped by the Hungarian Settlement Museum near Hammond, Louisiana. I'd passed nearby many times since I learned of it, but this was the first time I managed to pass through on a day it was open and also during regular business hours.

>Hungarian immigrants began arriving in Louisiana’s Florida Parishes in 1896, when Julius Bruskay, Adam Mocsary, and Theodore Zboray—drawn to labor opportunities at the Brackenridge Lumber Mill—settled near present-day Albany. By 1920 more than two hundred Hungarian families, many of whom had shifted from mill work to farming strawberries, called Árpádhon home. Their stories are preserved and celebrated at the Hungarian Settlement Museum in Livingston Parish.

"The Hungarian Settlement School is located in Albany and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on August 2, 2001. The old school is home to the Hungarian Settlement Museum and the grand opening was celebrated on September 27, 2017."

For a tiny volunteer museum that's been around for less than a decade, I'd say it's pretty nice. I'm glad I took the time to stop by.

>>12593 That's true. They probably get all sorts of reduced costs due to being a nationally registered historic site and whatnot.
And yeah, a mall is a particularly awful place nowadays. Their costs will also be higher due to all the other shops that have closed and moved out.
