Minnesota: New Prague — a Czech name on the American map
New Prague, Minnesota, is one of those Midwestern towns whose name is already a clue. Founded in the 1850s by Bohemian settlers, it grew around land sales, a parish anchored by St. Wenceslaus, and later the railroad, which connected local farming to wider markets. Today its Czech heritage is kept visible through archives, institutions, and especially Dožínky, the harvest festival that turns memory into a living public event.
