Kashubian Cultural Institute & Polish Museum — Attraction in Winona

When my Polish mother lived up North, she loved visiting this museum as she loves getting in touch with her Polish heritage.

She now lives in Texas, so she doesn't get to visit, so I did the next best thing, and ordered some Christmas gifts from this museum.

We had a mix up, and stuff happens, especially during a pandemic, so after not receiving the package after the scheduled arrival, they informed me it got lost in shipment.

This place was so much more than we were expecting - including being greeted by Adam and Paul.

I want to say we stayed a good two hours - there was so much to see. Will definitely stop in again next time we are in town. Highly recommended for anyone...
